As "[[Lilii Borea]]" has been applied to 39 Ari in 2017, the IAU discusses the parallel name in 2023/4 (found by Ian Ridpath). However, as the identification of Lilii Austrina with 41 Arietis is without any doubt due to the given coordinates, and this star already has a name given by the IAU, WGSN refrains from applying "Lilii Austrina". |

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. 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.
