(228893) Gerevich is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on September 6, 2003 by the Hungarian amateur astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky and the Hungarian astronomer Brigitta Sipőcz at the Piszkéstető observatory ( IAU code 561) in the northern Hungarian Mátra Mountains on behalf of the Budapest- Konkoly Observatory was discovered.
The asteroid is a member of the Agnia family, a group of asteroids that were formed no more than 140 million years ago when a large body broke apart and named after their largest member (847) Agnia . The timeless (not osculating ) orbit elements of (228893) Gerevich are almost identical to those of 82 other asteroids, for example (23533) 1993 PU 5 , (62208) 2000 SL 60 and (178256) Juanmi . There is a particularly close correspondence between the orbital data of (228893) Gerevich and the asteroid (390218) 2012 XD 33 .
(228893) Gerevich was named on January 16, 2014 after the Hungarian saber fencer Aladár Gerevich (1910–1991), who with seven gold medals is the most successful saber fencer in the history of the Olympic Games .
