Alpha Librae (α Lib α Librae) is the Bayer designation for the second brightest star in the constellation Libra (despite its Bayer designation as alpha). It has the traditional name Zubenelgenubi (pronounced zoo-BEN-el-je-NEW-bee). The name from Arabic الزبن الجنوبي (al-zuban al-janūbiyy) means southern claw and was coined before Libra was recognized as distinct from Scorpius.
