The IAU catalogue's account
Originally spelled as three word "xami di mura" means "eyes of the beast" in the Khoekhoe language (South Africa). The term designates two stars which is why it was suggested (Hahn 1881) to refer to μ Sco as this star appears as a visual pair of two dots of light. Yet, today's identification popularized by the SAAO differs.
