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

[9] Zeta Draconis is mentioned in Hindu texts as Tara who was a celestial goddess married to Lord Brhaspati.

A divine epic was played out in the night sky when Lord Chandra, the moon, lusted after and abducted Tara, the blue pole star of Brhaspati, the planet Jupiter.

[17] Consequently, the Chinese name for Zeta Draconis itself is 紫微左垣四 (Zǐ Wēi Zuǒ Yuán sì, English: the Fourth Star of Left Wall of Purple Forbidden Enclosure),[18] representing 上弼 (Shǎngbì), meaning The First Minister.

[6] This energy is being emitted from the star's outer envelope at an effective temperature of nearly 13,400 K.[3] The azimuthal rotation velocity along the equator is at least 55 km/s.
