The asteroid was named on November 20, 2002 after the city of La Serena on the Pacific Ocean , as many astronomers travel there. Due to the sparsely populated environment, favored by the desert climate, the view there is good, which means that there are many observatories, and the European Southern Observatory also has an office in La Serena.
