The planet Venus is called the morning star* because it can appear as the brightest, and most visible celestial object (other than the Moon) in the morning.

* It is also called the evening star when it appears shortly after sunset.
Venus is described as the Morning Star after inferior conjuction when it overtakes us in its orbit and leaves us behind. At that time it is west of the Sun in the sky and therefore rises before the Sun in the mornings.
In 2015 inferior conjunction is on August 15 when Venus is at its closest to us but it cannot be seen because it is nearly in line with the Sun. It will be seen as the Morning Star in the 6-8 weeks after that, low in the south east as seen from Europe, or high in the north east as seen from Australia.
