The traditional stellar name Al Niyat (or Alniyat) comes from the Arabic النياط an-niyāţ meaning "the arteries (of the scorpion)", and referred to two stars of the constellation of Scorpius which flank Antares, the scorpion's heart. :
- Sigma Scorpii (the primary component of which now bears the IAU-approved proper name of Alniyat)
- Tau Scorpii
