	The name Tongling has been proposed in November 2025 for the star HIP 33694 at Vmag = 4.5. However, there is an asteroid name "Tongling" which is spelled differently in Chinese but not in transliteration (asteroid 12418铜陵星, as opposed to 桐陵 for the star).		The name Tongling has been proposed in November 2025 for the star HIP 33694 at Vmag = 4.5. However, there is an asteroid name "Tongling" which is spelled differently in Chinese but not in transliteration (asteroid 12418铜陵星, as opposed to 桐陵 for the star).

	in 2026 ...		Thus, WGSN chose to adopt the name [[Tonglingxing]] for the star in Camelopardalis. The name was adopted on 22 February 2026.
