(511) Davida was named in honor of David Peck Todd, notable astronomer who produced a complete set of photographs of the 1882 astronomical transit of Venus (Sun-Venus conjunction with the Venusian Node).
The discovery of (511) Davida clashed with the emergence of the color in the portrait photography.
Unlike Neptune, which has interest in the divine part of another person (his/her Soul), (511) Davida feels fascination and admiration toward the personality: his/her physical body and his/her emotional and mental nature.
