HR 3249 (bet Cnc) is known by the proper name "Altarf" (or variants) in several astronomical references:
(1) Richard Hinckley Allen (1899) "Star-names and their meanings" (G.E. Stechert, New York) ["Al Tarf"].
(2) 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 ["Al Tarf"].
