Origem do nome

Early Arab poets referred to a number of anonymous stars as الفرود al-furūd, "the solitary ones". Besides this known name, Allen (1899) suggested that al-furūd might have been an old transcriber's error for القرود al-qurūd "the apes", which he rendered "Al Ḳurūd". Although this idea did not receive scholarly support, WGSN used the rare transliteration Elkurud for this star, as "Furud" was already chosen for ζ CMa.
