Discovered on 7 February 1994 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
The Tisza is a major tributary of the Danube river, with its source in the Carpathian Mountains. The Tisza flows through a small portion of Ukraine and then into Hungary. The river has recently been heavily polluted by cyanide, endangering its fauna.Naming citation (20000726/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
