In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Paikauhale for the star A on 10 August 2018 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names. The name Alniyat was given to Sigma Scorpii. Cultural signification The indigenous Boorong people of northwestern Victoria saw this star (together with σ Sco) as wives of Djuit (Antares). In Chinese, (), meaning Heart, refers to an asterism consisting of τ Scorpii, σ Scorpii and Antares. Consequently, the Chinese name for τ Scorpii itself is (), "the Third Star of Heart".
