In his short list of right ascensions of selected stars and his star catalogue, Lacaille 1757 named this star "The one south of the Lily" (or "the southern one of the Lily") in Latin: Lilii Austrina. This name was used specifically for the star 41 Ari that was officially named "Bharani" by the IAU in 2017, thus leaving no room for Lilii Austrina in the IAU name catalog.
The Lily (Lilium) is an obsolete constellation of the 17th century. It was formed of four stars that were unnamed in antiquity: In the Almagest they were listed as "The 4 stars over the rump [of the Ram]", outside the constellation image.
