Biham is Theta Pegasi, a white star set toward the head and nose of the horse, and its name derives from the Arabic sa'd al-bahaim, the lucky star of the two beasts or of the herd animals. It is another of the 'sa'd' fortune-names strung across this region, its meaning tied to the well-being and increase of livestock. As with its companions in the series, the name-meaning is the substance of its lore and no settled planetary nature attaches to it.

One of the Arabic 'sa'd' lucky-star names; meaning tied to the fortune of beasts. Little planetary lore attached.
