Discovered on 30 July 1995 by P. Pravec at Ondrejov.
Jan (Jeník) Hollan (b. 1955), an astronomer and environmentalist at the Brno Observatory, has deeply influenced many students and observers, including the discoverer. Sometimes in unorthodox ways, he makes a point of teaching his students to examine the most substantial points.Naming citation (19990928/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
