- Named for Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel (December 4, 1821 - March 16, 1889), a German astronomer. He was a prolific discoverer of comets, discovering or co-discovering 21 in all, including Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, now known to be the parent body of the Leonid meteor shower, and 9P/Tempel, the target of the NASA probe Deep Impact in 2005. Other periodic comets that bear his name include 10P/Tempel and 11P/Tempel-Swift-LINEAR.
- According to Whitaker (p. 226), this name was introduced by Krieger and König.
