The asteroid was named on November 11, 2000 after the German-Austrian-American conductor , pianist and composer Bruno Walter (1876–1962), who was one of the most important conductors of the 20th century and was Kapellmeister of the Leipzig Gewandhaus (1929–1933) , Chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic (1947–1949) and permanent guest conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic .

The celestial body belongs to the Eunomia family, a group named after (15) Eunomia , to which probably five percent of the asteroids in the main belt belong.
