[15] This minor planet was named after the district of Tyumen Oblast of the former Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1991).

Tyumen Oblast is located east of the Ural Mountains in Western Siberia, in the center of an oil-gas basin.

[11][12][13] The consolidated lightcurve gave a short rotation period of 2.769 hours with a brightness amplitude between 0.33 and 0.39 magnitude.

[3][a] According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Tyumenia measures between 38.619 and 51.49 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.029 and 0.0819.

[5][6][7][8][9][10][14] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0420 and a diameter of 40.93 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.0.
