Origem do nome

The formation of this name begins with the Arabic names hadari and al-wazn. In Arabic discussions of these names it came to be said that they were muhlifan, meaning "two [things] causing dispute [in this case as to these stars' identification] and the swearing of an oath". From this usage, al-muhlifan was wrongly taken as a name for hadari and al-wazn together. Transliterated and further mutilated as "Muliphein", the name was arbitrarily applied to the single star γ CMa in recent times.
