Discovered on 30 October 1980 by Z. Vavrova at Klet.

Janko Kráľ (1822–1876) was a Slovak poet, a leading figure of Slavic Romanticism, a revivalist and a prophet of freedom. His poetry was very emotional and full of revolutionary ideas. He was nicknamed Divný Janko-Odd Johnny, due to his iconic ballad “Zakliata panna vo Váhu a divný Janko” (“The Enchanted Maiden in the Váh and Odd Johnny”).Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #10, 8), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
