Discovered 1875 Nov. 1 by J. Palisa at Pola.
This name is the personification of fulness, its main attribute is the horn of plenty. The naming refers to the large number of newly discovered bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Von Littrow (Wunder des Himmels, 6. ed., p. 434, Berlin 1878) complained: “Benannt ... nach einer Göttin, die mit den armen Astronomen auf diesem Felde seit Jahren erbarmungsloses Spiel treibt und namentlich in dieser Epoche ihr Füllhorn über uns ausschüttete.” (A. Schnell)
Named by Prof. E. Weiss, director of the Vienna Observatory.
