Origem do nome

The formation of this name begins with the Arabic lunar mansion name al-sharatan, for β and γ Ari. From the numerous medieval lists of the Arabic lunar mansions (all in Latin transliteration), the Renaissance scholar Johannes Bayer grasped the form Sartai, and used it for the three brighter stars α, β and γ Ari. Bayer also erroneously explained Sartai as from the Hebrew word mesharethim, "servants", rather than from al-sharatan. Subsequently, Bayer's erroneous word, written as "Mesarthim", was applied as a star name.
