IAU Star Name
Name is already in SIMBAD: https://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=Tyl
Until March 2022, unable to find any other aliases for this particular star, and is only name for star in BSC. Yet, the IAU WGSN refrains from applying this name officially because it seems to be politically motivated.
