This paper describes the phenomena of eponymous terminology in forensic pathology. The authors found several eponymous terms by examining sample textbooks (monographs) on forensic pathology written in both English and German. The reader will be introduced to the most significant eponymous terminology in forensic pathology in this essay. The following terminology are mentioned in the paper: Wydler's Sign, Tardieu's Spots, Wischnewski Spots, Casper's Rule, Kronlein's Shot, Lichtenberg's Figures, Nysten's Law, Paltauf's Spots, Simon's Sign, Sveshnikov's Sign, Beckwith's Sign, Simon's Sign, Casper's Rule, Kronlein's Shot, Lichtenberg's It is explained how eponymous phrases have propagated across several languages. The linguistic foundation of such phrases, as well as their benefits and drawbacks in specialised fields and even more general contexts, are examined. According to the authors, the major purpose of these phrases is to make it easier for scholars to freely exchange clear information. In forensic pathology, eponymous phrases are typical of German-speaking nations and of other nations that have been affected by the German school. Since their use is far less common in the Anglo-Saxon world, they are not frequently found in English textbooks and monographs.
