The catalog consists of hundreds of pages, each containing 1,000 minor planets.
This is a list of named minor planets in an alphabetical, case-insensitive order grouped by the first letter of their name.

As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor Planet Center (MPC), and the discoverers can then submit names for them, following the IAU's naming conventions. The list below concerns those minor planets in the specified number-range that have received names, and explains the meanings of those names.
