IAU Working Group on Star Names
The constellation name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 2025. As "Tusi" could be confused with other celestial bodies named Tusi after two Persian astronomers (asteroid (10269) Tusi and asteroid (7058) Al-Tusi), WGSN chose to add a determinative here. The chosen star 95 Her is "the left one in Tusi", in Chinese "Tusizuo", so WGSN adopts this name.
