An aptronym is a name that aptly describes the occupation or character of the person who bears it. Essentially, it's a name that seems particularly fitting for its owner. For example, a person named Baker who works as a baker or a dentist named Dr. Payne. The concept highlights the often coincidental or ironic relationship between a person's name and their profession or traits. Aptronyms can be humorous and are sometimes used intentionally in literature and media for character development or comedic effect.
