pi03 Ori (HR 1543) is known by the proper name "Tabit" in the Bright Star Catalog and other astronomical references:
(1) Joseph Piazzi (1814) "Praecipuarum Stellarum Inerrantium Positiones Mediae Ineunte Saeculo XIX. Ex Observationibus Habitis In Specula Panormitana Ab anno 1792 ad annum 1813" ["Tabit"]
(2) Antonin Becvar (1964) "Atlas of the Heavens - II: Catalogue 1950.0", Praha: Publication House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and Cambridge, Mass.: Sky Publishing Corporation, 1964, 4th enl. edition, edited by Mohr, Josef M. (scient. ed.) ["Tabit"]
(3) Jack W. Rhoads (1971) "Technical Memorandum 33-507: A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars", Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA ["Tabit"]
(4) Mark R. Chartrand III (1982) "Skyguide: A Field Guide for Amateur Astronomers" (Golden Press, New York) ["Thabit"]
(5) Dorris Hoffleit & Carlos Jaschek (1991) "The Bright Star Catalogue" (5th edition; Yale University Observatory, New Haven, CT, USA) ["Tabit"]
(6) E. Anderson E. & C. Francis (2012) "XHIP: An Extended Hipparcos Compilation" ["Tabit"]
I can find no mention of the name associated with this star in any literature before Piazzi's Palermo catalog. The name should not be confused with a similar name ("Thabit") of probable common etymology that is commonly ascribed to the star ups Ori (Burritt 1840, Allen 1899).
