Asteroid 3412 Kafka was discovered on January 10, 1983, by Randolph Kirk and David Rudy at Palomar Observatory near Pauma Valley, California. It has a period of 3 years, 116 days. Kafka was named for Czech writer Franz Kafka(1883-1924), who is known for his surreal fiction and whose best-known works include the short story "The Metamorphosis," which is about a man who wakes up one morning to find he has become a giant insect, and the novel The Trial, which is about a hapless man who is accused of a crime, tried for it, convicted of it, and executed for it, without ever knowing exactly what the crime is or who his accusers are.

Astrologically, asteroid Kafka signifies surrealism, surreal situations, the paranormal, the bizarre, the irrational, creation of fiction.
