Talitha is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Arabic. It is the name of HIP 44127 (ι UMa, HR 3569) in constellation UMa.
Etymology and History
Applied in recent times from an abbreviation of the ind-A name alqafza al-thalitha, "the Third Leap", for ι and κ UMa. This pair, with the pairs λ/μ and v/ξ UMa, composed the ind-A asterism qafazat al-ziba', "the Leaps of the Gazelles", imagined as the tracks left by those animals. In some later tradition, qafazat al-ziba' and adjacent asterisms were associated in a fable, where several gazelles leaped away from the Lion into a pond, leaving their tracks behind.
