In his star atlas Neue Uranometrie, Friedrich Wilhelm Argelander labelled this star as χ Argo. It was probably labelled as χ by Bayer in the original Uranometria, although Bayer's chart is somewhat fanciful. Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille changed Bayer's designations in Argo Navis and applied χ to the star now called χ Carinae.[8]
