The constellation Camelopardalis was named by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius in the late 16th century. The name is derived from the Latin term for the giraffe, "camelopardalis," which reflects the creature's resemblance to both a camel and a leopard. Plancius introduced the constellation in 1612 as a means to fill the northern sky with new constellations.
