- Named by Percy Wilkins in Named Lunar Formations in 1935 (Whitaker, p 229).
- This crater seems to have been known as Wilhelmi Lantgravii on the moonmap made by Michel Florent Van Langren (Langrenus), see page 200 in Ewen A. Whitaker's Mapping and Naming the Moon.
The short list of three... (Mee, Lee, and See)
If a certain crater on the moon would be known as See (Thomas Jefferson Jackson See), it could join Mee and Lee. - DannyCaes May 14, 2015
