The constellations have Greek names primarily because ancient Greek astronomers were among the first to systematically study and document the night sky. Their observations and classifications influenced later cultures, particularly the Romans, who adopted and further spread these names. As a result, the Greek nomenclature became standardized in Western astronomy, persisting through the centuries in scientific literature and education. This legacy reflects the cultural significance of Greek contributions to the fields of science and navigation.

The names of a majority of the visible stars are in, or derived from, Arabic. This is because the records from the Greek and Egyptian astronomers who originally cataloged all of the stars were lost in Europe after the fall of Rome. Those books, such as the Almagest, were only preserved in Egypt, and copies were captured by the Spanish from Arabic libraries in Spain and re-introduced into Europe at the beginning of the Renaissance.
