Some of the brightest stars have names given a long time ago - e.g. Regulus, Sirius, Toliman. Many others are mainly known by a Greek letter and the genitive form of the constellation, e.g. Alpha Canis Majoris (= Sirius), Gamma Cruxis, but that is only used for a few stars in every constellation. Thousands or millions of others are simply known by a catalog number.
