George Orwell is the pseudonym of British writer Eric Blair (1903-1950), forever associated with the year of discovery, 1984, due to the enduring popularity of his dystopian novel by the same title. Orwell is one of only a handfull of writers to have an asteroid named after him.
According to the records of Klet Observatory: "The name was suggested by J. Tichá and endorsed by B. G. Marsden, who made the identification involving this aptly designated object".
