Delta Scorpii bore the traditional name ''Dschubba'', which comes from Arabic جبهة العقرب ''jabhet al-aqrab'' meaning 'the forehead of the scorpion'. In 2016 the [[International Astronomical Union]] organized a [[IAU Working Group on Star Names|Working Group on Star Names]] (WGSN)<ref name="WGSN"/> to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name ''Dschubba'' for ''δ'' ''Scorpii A'' on 21 August 2016 and it is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.<ref name="IAU-CSN" />
