 For 15 May, the calendar gives "Imhilde" as the German name day analogue next to "Sophie" and "Torquatus", the protestant and catholic entries in the calendar of saints, likely referring to Sophia of Rome and Torquatus of Acci.As with 22 other asteroids – starting with 913 Otila, and ending with 1144 Oda – Reinmuth selected names from this calendar due to his many asteroid discoveries that he had trouble thinking of proper names.These names are not related to the discoverer's contemporaries.
