The planet HD 206610 b is named Naron. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaigns by Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Naron is one of the names given to the Neretva river in Herzegovina originating with the Celts who called it Nera Etwa which means the Flowing Divinity. The host star HD 206610 is called Bosona. Bosona is the name given to the territory of Bosnia in the 10th century.[3][4]
