List of proper names of stars

This is a list of proper names for stars, mostly derived from Arabic and Latin. See also the list of stars by constellation, which gives variant names, derivations, and magnitudes.
Of the roughly 10,000 stars visible to the naked eye, only a few hundred have been given proper names in the history of astronomy.〔The NASA in 1971 compiled a "technical memorandum" collecting a total of 537 named stars.〕
Traditional astronomy tends to group stars into asterisms, and give proper names to those, not to individual stars.
Most star names are in origin descriptive of the part of the asterism they are found in; thus Cynosure is the "dog's tail", formerly "the star in the tail of the 'dog' asterism" (now Ursa Minor), or Phecda, a corruption of the Arabic ''fakhð ad-dubb'' "thigh of the bear".
Only a handful of the brightest stars have individual proper names not depending on their asterism; so Sirius "the scorcher", Antares and Canopus (of unknown origin), Alphard "the solitary one", Regulus "kinglet"; and arguably Aldebaran "the follower" (of the Pleiades), Procyon "preceding the dog ()".
In addition to the limited number of traditional star names, there are some coined in modern times, e.g. "Avior" for Epsilon Carinae (1930), and a number of stars named after people (mostly in the 20th century).
