Discovered 1906 Feb. 16 by J. H. Metcalf at Taunton.
Named for the daughter of the Phrygian prince Teubrantes, captive of Ajax {see planet(1404)}, by whom she had a son Eurysaces {see planet(8317)}. (H 64)
The naming might be influenced by the two letters of the provisional designation 1906 TK. See also the remarks to planet(579).
