A Chronology of IAU Name Changes
Table of Contents
The following is a list compiled from the approval dates shown in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer].
Until recently, changes to the [/IAU%20Nomenclature IAU Nomenclature] were theoretically supposed to be adopted by vote at the General Assembly meetings of the [/IAU IAU], typically held every three years. In practice, few, if any, such votes were held, but most of the names (and name changes) were published or announced in the [/IAU%20Transactions IAU Transactions]. In the following list, names listed in square brackets are old names that were dropped, while the remainder are new names that were published, according to the Gazetteer, in that year.
This list is far from comprehensive, for the on-line Gazetteer does not include many [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] names, and Greek lettered peaks and Roman-numeraled rilles that were included in the original nomenclature of 1935 but later changed or dropped. Similarly, many other changes are not well documented in the on-line Gazetteer, particularly for years prior to the 1990's. Finally, the single-line format of the Gazetteer introduces certain anomalies, such as creating the impression that the name [/Walther Walther] was adopted in 1935, when in reality the current name was the result of a spelling change approved in 2000. See the Notes at the end of this list for more details.
A better and more reliable source is generally the [/IAU%20Transactions IAU Transactions] themselves, in which (until recently) the changes were supposed to be announced before being considered official. Where possible, the approval dates should be checked against the lists appearing in the [/IAU%20Transactions scanned copies].
The current current policy is that the IAU's [/WGPSN WGPSN] is empowered to publish names directly in the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer], and they become official if no objection is received by the IAU Division III President within three months. Such changes may or may not be later published in the Transactions.
1935
(1935 refers to the publication date of the first definitive list of IAU-approved lunar names, [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations]. Work on that project was announced and endorsed at a number of General Assembly meetings, with a list of 507 approved primary names being published as early as 1928)

In addition to the formally announced name changes listed here, the [/IAU IAU] approved certain mapping activities of the [/LPL LPL] (the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters], etc.) and the [/DMA DMA] (the [/LAC LAC] map series). These redefined many of the feature name assignments made in [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations], especially of [/rima rilles] and [/satellite%20feature lettered craters], as well as adding and deleting others.
1970
(1970 refers to [/IAU%20Transactions%20XIVB IAU Transactions XIVB], but the definitive list of approved names was not published until 1971. For explanation of names added in 1970 -- mostly on the Moon's farside -- and for biographical information about the persons honored see [/Menzel%2C%201971 Menzel, 1971].)

+ ~7000 [/satellite%20feature satellite feature] names edited from [/NASA%20RP-1097 NASA RP-1097] -- many of which had been previously approved in [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations], but never entered in the IAU computer [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer database].
The following names were adopted as dropped features because non-lettered names for these features had been approved subsequent to the Fall, 1982 publication of RP-1097:
[/H%C3%A9derv%C3%A1ri [Amundsen A]]

[/Fryxell [Golitsyn B]]
- note: the preceding short list of lettered feature names appearing in RP-1097 that had been subsequently replaced by regular names is not complete, but these are the only ones presently listed as dropped features in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer]. RP-1097 also redefined, reassigned and dropped an unknown number of [/satellite%20feature satellite feature] names that been been previously approved as part of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] and/or the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. Since only the names and definitions contained in RP-1097 were entered into the database, the earlier designations are not documented there.

Notes
- The list of approval dates through 2008 is based on an Excel-format download of the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] on August 1, 2007.
- Not counting the dropped names (listed in square brackets), the approval dates of 1899 names were listed. 21 names have been added since.
- The long list approved in 1935 was the initial nomenclature of the Moon's nearside. The initial list was actually much longer, including many [/satellite%20feature satellite features] and peaks and rilles. That portion of the initial list is not given in the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer Gazetteer] because most of these had been dropped before the first Gazetteer was prepared. Such names are found in the on-line version only if the name was latter modified or re-adopted. Many of the initial lettered craters were re-approved in 2006, but not necessarily with their original names or locations.
- The long list of names approved in 1970 includes (but is not limited to) the main intial nomenclature for the Moon's farside. Eighteen other farside names had been previously adopted in 1961 ([/Whitaker Whitaker], p. 232).
- A number of the names listed as being approved in 1935 were originally adopted with different spellings (see the [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations%20Text#Index Index] of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations]).

(Note: in addition to spelling changes, [/Whitaker Whitaker], p. 235, says the original [/Brisbane Brisbane], [/Le%20Gentil Le Gentil] and [/Regnault Regnault], all listed with an approval date of 1935, were later moved)
- A number of the names listed as being first approved on later dates were actually part of the 1935 nomenclature. The many 1961 approval dates given in the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer Gazetteer] may indicate that changes in spelling or position were made in [/PLA%20Table%20III Table III] of G. P. Kuiper's [/Photographic%20Lunar%20Atlas Photographic Lunar Atlas] (1960). According to the IAU resolution reproduced on p. 232 of [/Whitaker Whitaker], the contents of that Table were approved in 1961 as "corrections" to the IAU's [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935).

- The farside names [/Hertz Hertz], [/Kurchatov Kurchatov], [/Lobachevskiy Lobachevskiy], [/Mendeleev Mendeleev], [/Pasteur Pasteur], [/Popov Popov] and [/Tsu%20Chung-Chi Tsu Chung-Chi] appear in the 1970 approval list; but they had been previously approved, along with eleven other farside names, in 1961. Perhaps the original finding map was too vague to be sure the newly approved features were the same as those originally intended.
- Although they do not appear in the on-line Gazetteer, according to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 232), the farside names Joliot Curie, Sklodowska-Curie and [/Montes%20Sovietici Montes Sovietici] were approved in 1961. These names were apparently later dropped, but in 1970, [/Joliot Joliot] was approved for what had initially been Joliot Curie and two large craters in the vicinity of the original Sklodowska-Curie were separately approved as [/Sklodowska Sklodowska] and [/Curie Curie]. [/Montes%20Sovietici Montes Sovietici] has not reappeared.
- The Soviet Mountains were named from the high Sun Luna 3 farside images. They are crater rays, not mountains, and hence were quietly dropped. - tychocrater tychocrater Aug 3, 2007
