The designation
HD 109246 comes from the
Henry Draper Catalogue. This was one of the systems selected to be named in the 2019
NameExoWorlds campaign during the 100th anniversary of the
IAU, which assigned each country a star and planet to be named. This system was assigned to
Iceland. The approved names were Funi for the star, an old
Icelandic word meaning fire or blaze, and Fold for the planet, meaning earth or soil. == Planetary system ==
