Kunitzsch and Smart
Applied in recent times and representing an abbreviation of any of several composite ind-A names (for example suhail al-wazn, suhail al-muhlif) that sci-A authors variously attributed to brighter stars in the region of Suhail. A Vel was among these brighter stars. Some of the composite names may have been authentic ind-A names for far-southern stars, with their true identities unknown to the more northern sci-Arabs, while others of them were surely the creations of ind-A poets.
Mythology
IAU Working Group Star Names
The name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 2016. The WGSN chose to apply the name for the star λ Vel in the IAU-CSN although it has historically been used for several stars.
