Best Answer

Since ancient Greece maybe, the ancient Greeks named the 88 constellations.

Edit: It was probably the Babylonians who really started naming groups of stars. The modern system of 88 constellations was only finalised in the last century.

Obviously the Babylonians, Greeks, etc., couldn't even see the stars that

can be seen only from the Southern Hemisphere.
