Asteroid 7480, Norwan, an Amor object, was discovered on August 1, 1994 by Carolyn S. Shoemaker at Palomar Observatory near Pauma Mountain, California. It has a period of 1 year, 325 days.
It was named for a deity of the Wintun, a Native American tribe of California, the "dancing porcupine woman," a goddess of light who danced above growing things in the daytime.
Norwan seems to mean: providing a nurturing environment for things to grow in; "do not touch."
