More "infamous" than "famous", the asteroid (or comet, or meteor, no one is sure which) was never named and presumably never noticed even as it approached.
The crater that it left on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico is named Chucxulub, for the small town near the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula near where it landed 65 million years ago.
