Alpha Phoenicis (α Phe / α Phoenicis) is the brightest star in the constellation Phoenix. It has the traditional name Ankaa, from Arabic "the phoenix". Medieval Arab astronomers formed the constellation of the dhow (small boat) where Phoenix is, so another popular name for the star is Nair al-Zaurak "the bright (star) of the skiff".
