Заманауи патшалар немесе саясаткерлер есімдерімен аталған мекемелер
Кейбір оқу орындары сол кезде билікте болған немесе қазіргі атауларын алған патшалар немесе саяси көшбасшылардың есімдерін алып жүреді. Кейбір мектептерге оларды ресми түрде бекіткен басшылардың есімдері берілген (мысалы, Чехиядағы Прагадағы Карл университеті және АҚШ-тағы Уильям мен Мэри колледжі). Басқа мекемелер өздерінің атауларын алғандардан басқа да қолдау түрлерін алған болуы мүмкін. Төмендегі тізімде сол кездегі патшалықтардың немесе биліктегі саясаткерлердің есімдерімен аталған мекемелер де, жақында қайтыс болған патшалықтардың немесе мектептерді ерекше қолдаған саясаткерлердің есімдерімен аталған мекемелер де бар. Сондай-ақ, осындай басшылардың отбасы мүшелерінің есімдерімен аталған мекемелер де тізімделген.
