Origem do nome

Applied in recent times from an abbreviation of the ind-A name sa'd matar for η and o Peg. Its meaning is unknown. matar has been translated as "rain," and as a common noun in Arabic, al-matar does mean "the rain." However, lack of the definitive article al- for the star points to a use of the word in a sense different from the common noun.
