Origem do nome

A Latin word meaning "hip", used in the Medieval Latin Almagest in describing σ and ι/38 Aqr in the right and left hips, respectively (following an error, for Ptolemy had these stars in "the buttocks"). The word was applied as a star name to θ Aqr (correctly in Ptolemy's "right socket of the hip") in recent times.
