The big dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). The little dipper is part of Ursa Minor (the Little Bear).
In Greek mythology, the persons who became these two constellations were the nymph Callisto (Ursa Major) and her son Arcas (Ursa Minor), so these might be other names for these constellations.
