-Ignace-Gaston Pardies introduced a new (now obsolete) constellation''[[Lilium|, Lilium]]'', the fleur-de-lis of France, in 1674. He had reused four stars in the north of Aries, which were unnamed in Antiquity and subject to various namings in the Early Modern Ages. The individual stars of the Lily were unnamed.
+Lilii Borea is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Latin. It is the name of the star 39 Arietis in constellation [[Aries]].
 ==Etymology and History==

-Lacaille named its two brightest stars ''Lilii Borea'' and ''Lilii Austrina'' (i.e. in the north and south of the lily). The Latin term can be interpreted as "a star outside the constellation and in the north/south of it" or "a star in the northern/southern section of the constellation". As both stars form part of the asterism (since Ptolemy where it was unnamed), we should understand "The Northern One of the Lily" and "The Southern One of the Lily".
