Who named the stars by assigning them to constellations and give them Greek letters?
Most of the brighter stars were assigned their first systematic names by the German astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603, in his star atlas Uranometria.Most of the constellations are ancient, though the concept of assigning the entire sky, not just the asterisms, to constellations is relatively recent. The current boundaries were set up by Eugene Delporte in 1930.

All the stars in the sky have been assigned to 88 separate constellations, so there are constellations all over the sky.

Greek and Latin have traditionally been used in science.

For example, Alpha Centauri is also known as Toliman; Alpha Canis Majoris is also known as Sirius.
