Adjective for "with the same name" / "same-way called"

Question

I’m looking for an adjective that is similar to eponymous as in:

He is playing a role of Terminator in the eponymous movie.

Except that it should be possible to use this adjective as a substitute for the phrase “same-way called” as in:

The Luxembourg village called Shengen and the _______ area located in Eurasia.

Modified the example sentence (about Shengen) so that it describes the word I am looking for better. It is not exactly the same as those, being discussed in the post, that mine is being a duplicate to. — Eduard, Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 16:29
Possibly identically named area, but maybe And the area of the same name. — Arm the good guys in America, Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 18:10

One sense of homonymous is having the same name.

homonymous adjective

...

having the same name

This has already been covered on ELU when the named pair are works or people.

Perhaps the term namesake is what you are looking for?

Namesake could refer to something named after something else, which I believe is what you are searching for.

Namesake is a noun, so does not work, but thanks!
