Os Lusíadas
This minor planet was named after Portugal's and the Portuguese language's greatest poet, Luís de Camões (1524–1580). His epic "Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads)", a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries, shows an extraordinary knowledge of astronomy. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 6 February 1993 ().
