(14466) Hodge is an asteroid of the main belt extending from the on 25 July 1993 American US astronomer Mark Hammergren on Manastash Ridge Observatory of the University of Washington ( IAU code 664) was discovered.
The celestial body was named on March 9, 2001 after the American astronomer Paul William Hodge (1934-2019), who was editor of the Astronomical Journal from 1984 to 2004 . His investigations of the Barnards Galaxy in 1977 resulted in the identification of 16 H-II regions , which are named after him as Hodge 1 to Hodge 16.
