Whonamedit?

Whonamedit? was an online English-language dictionary of medical eponyms and the people associated with their identification.¹ Though it was a dictionary, many eponyms and persons are presented in extensive articles with comprehensive bibliographies.¹ The dictionary was hosted in Norway and was developed by medical historian Ole Daniel Enersen.²

As of June 2025, the Whonamedit website has gone offline. The site remains accessible through the Internet Archive.
