 Asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first asteroid to be given a non-mythological name was 20 Massalia, named after the city of Marseilles.
For some time only female (or feminized) names were used; Alexander von Humboldt was the first man to have an asteroid named after him, but his name was feminized to 54 Alexandra.
This unspoken tradition lasted until 334 Chicago was named; even then, oddly feminised names show up in the list for years afterward.
