It bore the traditional name "Sadachbia", from an Arabic expression سعد الأخبية ("sa‘d al-’axbiyah"), meaning "luck of the homes (tents)". In Hindi it is also called "Satabhishaj" (a hundred physicians); it is called "Sadhayam" in Tamil. In the catalogue of stars in the "Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket", this star was designated "Aoul al Achbiya" ("أول ألأجبية" - "awwil al ahbiyah"), which was translated into Latin as "Prima Tabernaculorum", meaning "the first of luck of the homes (tents)". In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name "Sadachbia" for the component WDS J22217-0123 Aa on 21 August 2016, and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.
