List of proper names of exoplanets

The IAU's names for exoplanets – and on most occasions their host stars – are chosen by the Executive Committee Working Group (ECWG) on Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites, a group working parallel with the Working Group on Star Names (WGSN).[1] Proper names of stars chosen by the ECWG are explicitly recognised by the WGSN.[2] Names are a single word consisting of sixteen characters or less, pronounceable in some language, non-offensive, and not identical to existing proper names of astronomical objects.[4] In addition, the discoverer of a planet reserves the right to reject a proposed name for it.[5] (Veritate) (Musica) (Intercrus) (Fafnir) (Chalawan) (Helvetios) 2015 NameExoWorlds (Copernicus) (Ran) (Ain) Found in 2020 to be a debris cloud from a collision of asteroids rather than a planet 2015 NameExoWorlds (Errai) (Tonatiuh) (Ogma) (Cervantes) (Titawin) (Libertas) (Lich) (Illyrian) Albania (Hoggar) Algeria (Arcalís) Andorra (Nosaxa) Argentina (Malmok) Aruba (Bubup) Australia (Franz) Austria (Mahsati) Azerbaijan (Timir) Bangladesh Found to be a low-mass star rather than a planet in 2020 (Nervia) Belgium (Gakyid) Bhutan (Tapecue) Bolivia (Bosona) Bosnia and Herzegovina (Tupi) Brazil (Gumala) Brunei (Tangra) Bulgaria (Mouhoun) Burkina Faso (Nikawiy) Canada (Pincoya) Chile (Xihe) China (Macondo) Colombia (Poerava) Cook Islands (Diwö) Costa Rica (Nyamien) Côte d'Ivoire (Stribor) Croatia (Felixvarela) Cuba (Alasia) Cyprus (Absolutno) Czechia (Muspelheim) Denmark (Márohu) Dominican Republic (Nenque) Ecuador (Citalá) El Salvador (Koit) Estonia (Buna) Ethiopia (Horna) Finland (Bélénos) France (Itonda) Gabon (Mago) Germany (Sika) Ghana (Lerna) Greece (Tojil) Guatemala (Citadelle) Haiti (Hunaphú) Honduras (Lionrock) Hong Kong (Hunor) Hungary (Funi) Iceland (Bibhā) India (Dofida) Indonesia (Kaveh) Iran (Uruk) Iraq (Tuiren) Ireland (Tevel) Israel (Flegetonte) Italy (Kamuy)[6] Japan (Petra) Jordan (Kalausi) Kenya (Liesma) Latvia (Phoenicia) Lebanon (Pipoltr) Liechtenstein (Taika) Lithuania (Lucilinburhuc) Luxembourg (Rapeto) Madagascar (Intan) Malaysia (Sansuna) Malta (Diya) Mauritius (Axólotl) Mexico (Tislit) Morocco (Emiw) Mozambique (Ayeyarwady) Myanmar (Sagarmatha) Nepal (Sterrennacht) Netherlands (Karaka) New Zealand (Cocibolca) Nicaragua (Amadioha) Nigeria (Násti) Norway (Shama) Pakistan (Moriah) Palestine (Montuno) Panama (Tupã) Paraguay (Inquill) Peru (Amansinaya) Philippines (Uklun) Pitcairn Islands (Solaris) Poland (Lusitânia) Portugal (Koeia) Puerto Rico (Moldoveanu) Romania (Dombay) Russia (Belel) Senegal (Morava) Serbia (Parumleo) Singapore (Chasoň) Slovakia (Irena) Slovenia (Naledi) South Africa (Baekdu) South Korea (Rosalíadecastro) Spain (Sāmaya) Sri Lanka (Aniara) Sweden (Mönch) Switzerland (Ebla) Syria (Formosa) Taiwan (Mpingo) Tanzania (Chaophraya) Thailand (Atakoraka) Togo (Dingolay) Trinidad and Tobago (Chechia) Tunisia (Anadolu) Turkey (Berehynia) Ukraine (Sharjah) United Arab Emirates (Gloas) United Kingdom (Nushagak) United States (Ceibo) Uruguay (Natasha) Zambia (Mazaalai)[6] Mongolia (Añañuca) Chile (Noquisi) United States (Gar) Spain (Orkaria) Kenya (Kaewkosin) Thailand (Komondor) Hungary (Guahayona) Puerto Rico (Zembra) Tunisia (Aiolos) Greece (Matza) Mexico (Danfeng) China (Batsũ̀) Costa Rica (Uúba) Colombia (Wattle) Australia (Gnomon) Romania (Kosjenka) Croatia (Wouri) Cameroon (Dilmun) Bahrain (Filetdor) Spain (Maru) South Korea Sources Citations
