(19384) Winton is an asteroid of the main inner belt that was discovered on February 6, 1998 by the Czech astronomer couple Jana Tichá and Miloš Tichý at the Kleť Observatory ( IAU code 046) near Český Krumlov .
Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid are similar to the orbital data of the members of the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .
(19384) Winton was named on July 5, 2001 after Nicholas Winton (1909–2015), an English broker who saved Jewish- Czech children from the Holocaust .
