{wiki=Category:Lists_of_minor_planets_by_name}
Lists of minor planets by name are collections or databases that categorize and provide information on minor planets (also known as asteroids) according to their designated names. Minor planets are small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun and are not classified as comets. These lists typically include the name of the minor planet, its numerical designation, discovery date, and sometimes additional information such as its orbital characteristics, physical properties, and the name of the astronomer or observatory that discovered it.
