Searching database of minor planet names

The catalog of asteroids discovered at Klet can be searched in two ways. In the first one, pick a starting letter of asteroid's name from the listed alphabet. In the second way, start writing an expression to search (diacritics is allowed), and after at least three letters are typed, the results are automatically listed. The search can also be performed only on asteroid names, catalogue numbers, date of discovery or names of the discoverers.

Krumbenowe (Chrumbenowe) is the oldest documented name of the town of Český Krumlov. Dating from the mid-13th century, the name seems to originate from German words “Krumben Ouwe”, “Krumme Aue” (skew mead) or, maybe, from the much older “Wilt Ahwa” (wild water), referring to the Vltava river.
