Nomenclature
- Named for Johann Leonhard Rost (1688-1727), a German astronomer.
- According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 218), this name was introduced by [/Schr%C3%B6ter Schröter], who himself got the name from a list prepared by [/Hell Hell], where it appeared in the form Rostius and referred to a different crater (p. 93).
- Illustrations - many of the Moon - from Rost's Astronomical Handbook of 1718.
