Origem do nome

Applied in recent times from the Arabic lunar mansion name al-shara-tan, for β and γ Ari. The name means "two" of something, but the complete meaning is uncertain. Some Arabic authors suggested that it meant "the Two Signs", implying these stars as some kind of celestial indicator; others assumed it meant "the Two Horns", referring to the Arabic figure of al-hamals here.
