Saiph (κ Orionis 53 Orionis) is the sixth-brightest star in the constellation of Orion. Of the four bright stars that compose Orion’s main quadrangle it is the star at the south-eastern corner. A northern-hemisphere observer facing south would see it at the lower left of Orion and a southern-hemisphere observer facing north would see it at the upper right. The name Saiph is from the Arabic saif al jabbar ‘سیف الجبّار’ literally sword of the giant.
