In Hindu astronomy, Bharani (भरणी bharaṇī, Sanskrit pronunciation: [ˈbʱɐɽɐɳiː]) is the second nakshatra, or lunar mansion corresponding to 35, 39 and 41 Arietis.

The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems.

[17] Consequently, the Chinese name for 41 Arietis itself is 胃宿三 (Wèi Su sān, English: the Third Star of Stomach.

[3] The suffix 'n' indicates 'nebulous' absorption lines in the star's spectrum caused by the Doppler effect of rapid rotation.

[20] It is a candidate member of the AB Doradus moving group[6] and has an orbiting companion at an angular separation of 0.3 arcseconds.
