Notes:-

  • These are not all of the Arabic star names.
  • Some stars in the table may have more than one Arabic name, such as: Gamma Gem, Eta UMa, Beta Cet, Lambda Ori, Alpha Psc, Beta Ori, Alpha And.
  • Some star names may be composites of Arabic and Latin words, such as: Alula Australis (Xi UMa).
  • Some of the above names are still used in the sky atlases, while others are rarely used, and others are no longer used.
