The star bore thetraditional Chinese name ofTaiyi,[14][15] from 太乙 (Tài Yǐ) or 太一 (Tài Yī, the Great One), both of which refer toTao. Alternatively, Taiyi may refer toHD 119476[17] or4 Draconis,[18] with7 and 8 Draconis formingNeichu, representing a private kitchen.[19] In 2016, theInternational Astronomical Union organized aWorking Group on Star Names (WGSN)[20] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the nameTaiyi for this star on 30 June 2017 and it is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.[21]
