This is a member of the dynamic Eos family of asteroids that were probably formed as the result of a collisional breakup of a parent body.[3]

The name is that of the protagonist of one of Miguel de Cervantes's Exemplary Novels. It is possible, since this was a period when Wolf habitually named his comets after operatic heroines, that he specifically had in mind the Preziosa in the eponymous opera by Antonio Smareglia.[4]
