	~~Gamma~~ Per ~~or Delta Per might be~~ appropriate choices given the centrality of Perseus to the asterism.		The name was suggested to the IAU WGSN in 2025 in collaboration of WGSN-members with the Sami-sky culture expert Rolf Jonas Persson from Norway. He had suggested to name two stars with the names of the reindeer bull and the reindeer cow, and he considered stars around δ Per appropriate choices given the centrality of Perseus to the asterism. Based on the fact that 90% of the speakers are North Sámi, it would be most appropriate to use this dialect.

			In Sami tradition, we see a cosmic hunting scene in the starry sky during the dark season. The Sarvvis (Bull) first appears in the sky, followed by the hunter Faavna, who sets out to hunt Sarvvis. Thus the hunt continues night after night in cosmic equilibrium without the earth coming to an end.<ref name=":0" />

	The mythology is also ambiguous regarding whether the creature is a reindeer or an elk. Since only female reindeer keep their antlers during winter—as described in the mythological context—it is uncertain whether it should be a bull.

 There are ten different Sámi languages, with North Sámi accounting for about 90% of speakers. In North Sámi, ''Sarvvis'' means “reindeer bull,” while ''Sarvva'' refers to an elk (''Alces alces''). In South Sámi, however, ''Sarva'' means “reindeer bull.”
