The asteroid is named after the scabiosa genus .
The initials of the asteroids with the numbers 1227 to 1234, all of which were discovered by Reinmuth, together form G STRACKE , the name of the German astronomer and calculator of asteroid orbits Gustav Stracke , who asked that no asteroid should be named after him (see there).
