Ármin Vámbéry (1832–1913) was a Hungarian orientalist, traveler, university professor and a full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. During his travels in Central Asia, he visited areas hitherto untouched by Europeans. His greatest scientific achievement was the ethnography of the Turkic heritage of these landscapes.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #1, 14), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
