Explanation:

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a namesake is a person or thing having the same name as another. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines "namesake" as "one that has the same name as another; especially one who is named after another or for whom another is named", allowing the usage of: ... He is my namesake."

Answer:

A namesake is an individual or other thing that shares the same name as another or is named after the first person or thing to have the name.

Explanation:

The expression "for one's name's sake," which originated in English Bible translations as a rendition of a Hebrew idiom signifying "to safeguard one's reputation" or potentially "vouched for by one's reputation," was first recorded about 1635. Psalm 23:3, "he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake" (King James Bible, 1604), or "e'en for his own name's sake" in the metrical version, is a well-known example that schoolchildren used to memorize.

For example, if Raj finds another person having the same name, he would be called a namesake.
