An allonym is a pen name or alias used by an author that is borrowed from another person. Often, the borrowed name is that of a famous person or a historical figure. One prominent example is Publius, which was borrowed from Publius Valerius Publicola by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to publish the Federalist Papers.
