Origem do nome

Applied in recent times from its Arabic name al-mirzam, of unknown meaning. The Arabs also gave the name to β CMi, and sometimes to γ Ori. Each al-mirzam star preceded the rising of a brighter star (our Sirius, Procyon, and Betelgeuse, respectively), which probably connects to the unknown meaning.
