Canis Major, the constellation meaning "Greater Dog" in Latin, has origins that date back to ancient civilizations, with references found in Greek and Roman astronomy. It was formally named as part of the modern constellation system in the 16th century by European astronomers. Therefore, it has been known by this name for several hundred years, but its roots in star lore extend back over two millennia.
