Nomenclature
- Named for Francois Napoleon Marie Moigno (Abbe Moigno) (b. 15 April, 1804; d. 14 July, 1884), a physicist and author. In 1852 he founded the well-known scientific journal Cosmos.
- The name Moigno seems to first appear in a list of new lunar names proposed by John Lee and W. R. Birt published in MNRAS and slightly expanded in Astronomische Nachrichten. In neither publication is the identity of the honoree explained.
- This feature is Catalog number 683 in Mary Blagg's Collated List, where the name Moigno is noted as having been used in Neison, 1876. Neither Julius Schmidt nor Beer and Mädler named the feature. Instead, Schmidt complained he was unable to identify the British Association's Moigno and Peters (another name that appeared in the Birt and Lee list).
- The name Moigno was adopted into the original IAU nomenclature of Named Lunar Formations.
