CONSTELLATION
You probably mean constellation, as in Ursa Major, or Orion.
Because it looks like the belt of the hunter Orion, as depicted in the stars of the constellation Orion.
A pattern of stars is a grouping of stars perceived as a figure or design: Orion, The big Dipper, are two examples.
"Orion" is the label given to a certain pattern of stars, and to a precisely defined region of the sky. Either way, Orion comprises a huge number of individual stars, and each and every one of them has its own magnitude.
When stars are organized in a visible pattern they are normally referred to as constellations. Examples of constellations include Orion, Capricorn and Taurus.
Hanging from Orion's belt is his sword, consisting of the multiple stars θ1 and θ2 Orionis, called Trapezium and the Orion Nebula (M42).

The star constellation is called Orion.
Orion is a constellation, not a galaxy. The stars in it appear to form a pattern but they are not a unit and they are all completely different distances away. So there is no definitive distance that you can say Orion is away from us. You can only talk about the distance of individual stars that are in it.
Orion has 7 main stars, 3 of which are "orion's belt." The other 4 represent his shoulders and feet.BetelgeuseSaiphRigelAlnitakAlnilamMinktakaBellatrix
The constellation Orion was named after the greek hunter Orion, who was supposedly put into among the stars by Artemis after she was tricked into killing him by her brother Apollo. Another version is that after a giant scorpion killed Orion, Artemis put the scorpion and Orion into the stars. She apparently made it so that Orion and the scorpion would always be on opposite sides of the sky.
