Origem do nome

From the ind-A name al-nath, "the Butting (with the horns)," an alternative name for the 1st lunar mansion al-sharatan consisting of β and γ Ari. Some late Arabic authors also applied al-nath as a star name to a Ari. In recent times the name, as "Nath," was wrongly transferred to β Tau, and subsequently it was completed to "Elnath" (adding the Arabic definite article).
