Hope, Colin Littlefield, Elise Furlan, “The Probable Direct-imaging Detection of the Stellar Companion to Betelgeuse”, in Frederic Rasio, Luis C. Ho, Rekha Jain, Maria Womack, editors, The Astrophysical Journal Letters, volume 988, number 2, District of Columbia: American Astronomical Society, published August 2025, →DOI, article L47, page 8/1 of 8:

     The name Betelgeuse means “Hand of the Giant,” with “Elgeuse” being a historical Arabic name of the Orion constellation and a feminine name in old Arabian legend. Given that α Ori B orbits the hand of the giant, we suggest that the companion star be named سوارها (Siwarha), or “Her Bracelet.”
