Over the years, students, faculty and alumni have demonstrated their loyalty toward the University by bestowing Princeton's name on their discoveries and inventions. Examples come from the natural world, man-made creations, the heavens, fashion and more.

Some things named after Princeton include:

• USS Princeton, commissioned in 1843
• Mt. Princeton in Colorado, named in 1872
• Nassauica Dusenii, a plant first found in Patagonia in 1897
• Phrygilus Princetonianus, a type of finch discovered in Cheike, Patagonia, in 1898
• Asteroid Princetonia, number 508, discovered in 1903
• Princeton Glacier, in Alaska, named in 1909
• Pteygotus Princetonii, a Devonian fossil fish discovered in 1933 on Beartooth Butte, Wyoming
• The "Princeton," a style of haircut that came into fashion in the 1950s. The cut is very short around the sides and just long enough on top to allow a part.

Please note that University guidelines govern the use of the Princeton name and images, which may not be used for commercial purposes.
