'Alnath' originates from Arabic, specifically the word 'النطح' (an-naţħ), where 'النطح' meant 'the butting' or 'the bull's horn.'

'النطح' transformed into the Latin word 'Alnath,' and eventually became the modern English word 'Alnath.'

Initially, it meant 'the butting' or 'the bull's horn,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
