[13] Beta Delphini bore an historical name, Rotanev, which arose as follows: Niccolò Cacciatore was the assistant to Giuseppe Piazzi, and later his successor as Director of the Palermo Observatory.

When the Catalogue was published in 1814, the unfamiliar names Sualocin and Rotanev were attached to Alpha and Beta Delphini, respectively.

[14] Cacciatore's name, Nicholas Hunter in English translation, would be Latinized to Nicolaus Venator.

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

[19] The system consists of a pair of F-type stars that orbit each other with a period of 26.66 years and an eccentricity of 0.36.
