Latin haedi means kids. As to Almaaz:
"Hyde cited Arabic authority for this, being at one time Al Ma'az, the He Goat ..." (Allen)
Presumably, therefore, the kid who comes first (with lower right ascension) is a She Goat. It makes sense to have the kid with a star eye as the male one. Hevelius has lower right ascension to the left, where Capella is, viz. at the back of the Charioteer.
