	The Arabic term means "Gazelle" and designates a group of asterisms (some single star-asterisms forming a herd) in the ancient indigenous Arabic sky culture. Laffitte (2012) gives a long list of identifications of its stars based upon different sources from different centuries and authors. Adams (2018) suggests to be more careful in separating different states of the constellation because different authors may have shifted the name labels over the course of time.

	==Etymology and History==		The Arabic term means "Gazelle" and designates a group of asterisms (some single star-asterisms forming a herd). Laffitte (2012) gives a long list of identifications of its stars based upon different sources from different centuries and authors. Adams (20xx) suggests to be more careful in separating different states of the constellation because different authors may have shifted the name labels over the course of time.

			==Etymology and History==
			'''''Al Thiba''''' ''(σ<sup>1</sup>σ<sup>2</sup> UMa : 5,15 & 3,25).''

			Borrowed at the end of the 20th century, this name is justified by the fact that these stars constitute, in al-Ṣūfī, one of the subgroups of ''al-Ẓibā''', “Gazelles” of the Ancient Arabs, which also groups together other stars from Ursa Major (UMa) but also from nearby constellations, Leo Minor (LMi) and Lynx (Lyn).<ref>al-Ṣūfī. Al-Qazwīnī > ''‘El-dhibâ’'', Ideler, ''‘Al Ṭhibā’’''</ref> The second group of ''al-Ẓibā‘'' is made up of αβ CVn, the third by α and 31-32 Lyn, while the stars of the Little Lion, namely 46, 21 and β LMi are ''Awlād al-Ẓibā’'', ‘the Little Gazelles’, Ibn Qutayba.

			* Rhoads (1971) identifies p/''σ<sup>1</sup>σ<sup>2</sup>''
