The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 10.840 (± 0.221) kilometers and the albedo to be 0.104 (± 0.023).

The asteroid belongs to the Ursula family, a several billion year old asteroid family named after the asteroid (375) Ursula .

The track from (43775) Tiepolo was secured in 2002 so that numbering could be assigned. On January 6, 2003, the asteroid was named after Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen . Tiepolo was one of the most important Venetian painters of the late Baroque and Rococo .
