I'm looking for the term used to describe a person after whom you are named. I am named after my great-grandmother, therefore I am her namesake and she is my ___________.
This is infuriating.
edit: -t, I've seen it used both ways as well, but for the life of me, I swear there's another word to describe it.
I'm not sure English has one. But I'll bet the aggregate Buffista wisdom will prove me wrong.
There is. It's namesake.
Main Entry: name·sake
Pronunciation: -"sAk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from name's sake
: one that has the same name as another; especially : one who is named after another or for whom another is named

Ratzinger was elected pope. Hell froze over and now it's spreading to the major metropolitan areas.
edit: In no way was I implying that NYC is/was/shall be "hell." I've had a lousy day, and me thinks it's time for Maria to head home.

I think there is, too, but I can't think of it.

You too!
One of my Claims to Fame is now my mispronounciation of your name! Something probably only I could manage!
Partyman's in town! Fun!

Had some cool people's phone numbers but seem to have lost them...
