The Latin term "Honores" means honour.

Etymology and History

Introduced by Bode (1801), he gave a paper in 1790 that this was a joined decision by many European astronomers as a memorial to an extraordinarily generous patron of scientific research and benevolent, peaceful ruler. WGSN considers this message worth to convay even without the dedication to a specific person; we named a star in the feather "Honores" as there is a German proverb "Die Feder ist mächtiger als das Schwert" (the feather is mightier than the sword).

Mythology

IAU Working Group on Star Names

The name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 202x. As this star is already named ..., the WGSN chose ... (not to apply/ to apply the name to a neighbouring star/ to ...) in the IAU-CSN.
