Unkulunkulu

[Gravyweg]

Is the in-game Kuiper belt object Unkulunkulu actually 2005 UQ513? If so, I do not see any association of that name, a Zulu deity, with that object, in any literature.

So, in that case, I am curious to know why, or through what process, Unkulunkulu was chosen as the name? (Just out of a general interest in words/names & the choices that go with them etc)
