In the following, we present a list of Arabic Star Names. This list
does not contain all documented star names in the Arabic nomenclature.
Note also that some stars may have more than one Arabic name (such as:
Gamma Gem, Eta UMa, Beta Cet, Lambda Ori, Alpha Psc, Beta Ori ), and
that some star names may be composites of Arabic and Latin words (such
as: Alula Australis (Xi UMa). Some of the above namesare still used in
the sky atlases, while others are rarely used, and others disappeared
from astronomical atlases.
