Named for Sir James Chadwick (1891-1974), a British physicist.
Chadwick was added to a bank of names for future use on the Moon in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB] (1976).
The name was approved for use in connection with the present crater in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XIXB IAU Transactions XIXB] (1985).
Although the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] lists this as a replacement name for [/De%20Roy De Roy] X, the latter name would appear to have never been [/IAU IAU] approved since the farside [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] names introduced by [/Ewen%20Whitaker Ewen Whitaker] were not approved by the IAU until [/IAU%20Transactions%20XXVI 2006], by which time this crater had been given its present name.
