This is a partial list of meanings of minor planet names. Also see list of named minor planets
(alphabetical) for a condensed version without naming citations.
As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor
Planet Center (MPC), and the discoverers can then submit names for them, following the IAU's naming
conventions. The list below concerns those minor planets in the specified number-range that have
received names, and explains the meanings of those names.
Official naming citations of newly named small Solar System bodies are published in MPC's Minor Planet
Circulars several times a year.[1] Recent citations can also be found on the JPL Small-Body
Database (SBDB).[2] Until his death in 2016, German astronomer Lutz D. Schmadel compiled these
citations into the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names (DMP) and regularly updated the collection. [3]
[4]
Based on Paul Herget's The Names of the Minor Planets,[5] Schmadel also researched the unclear origin
of numerous asteroids, most of which had been named prior to World War II. This article
incorporates public domain material from the United States Government document "SBDB". New
namings may only be added after official publication as the preannouncement of names is condemned
by the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature.[6]
