Name origin
A Latin name meaning "the Female Warrior", given to α Aur in a medieval astrological text (the reason behind this initial application is not fully understood and awaits further findings in corresponding Arabic texts). In late medieval times, bellatrix was transferred to γ Ori, perhaps by association with the name Bellator, "the Male Warrior", which was used for Orion in other astrological texts.
