On September 1, 2025, the classical Kuiper belt object (55637) 2002 UX25 was officially named (55637) Uni.
"Uni is the Etruscan goddess of love and fertility. She is one of the
three main gods of the pantheon. The satellite (55637) Uni I is named
for Uni's husband, the sky god Tinia." (WGSBN Bull. 5, #20, 6)
In Etruscan mythology, Uni was the supreme goddess, equivalent to Hera in Greek mythology and Juno in Roman mythology. With her husband Tinia (equivalent to the Greek Zeus and the Roman Jupiter), Uni conceived Hercle, equivalent to the Greek Heracles and the Roman Hercules.
The most relevant aspect of this mythology is the bond between Uni and Tinia. Thus, the proper names Uni and Tinia are less important to its definition than the bond between them. That is, 'wife of Tinia' (= Uni); 'husband of Uni' (= Tinia).
