Nomenclature
Funi
The system was named as part of the NameExoWorlds 2019 contest by Iceland. The name is from Old Icelandic Funi, 'fire, or blaze'. Its exoplanet companion was named Fold, a term also from Old Icelandic meaning 'earth, or soil'. The terms are for natural elements and forces and symbolise the properties of the objects they designate.
