From the JPL Small-Body DataBase:

Estonian astronomer Jaan Einasto (b. 1929) discovered the presence of dark matter in the universe in 1974, and he noted the regular cell-like structure in the large scale-distribution of superclusters of galaxies in 1977. Still a very active scientist, he has written more than 250 scientific papers.

The symbol of this minor planet is a monogram of the letters J. E. over an astronomer's star-in-circle.
