That's not necessarily true. It depends on the viewpoint of the observer - and the direction the meteors are travelling through the atmosphere.
The average space rock that becomes a meteor is typically a fragment from a comet, or a shard thrown off when two asteroids collide.
The word "meteor" refers to the weather (which is way weather men are called Meteorologists). Before it was appreciated that there were rocks from outer space burning in our atmosphere, meteors were thought to be some sort of weather phenomenon. Properly, a "meteor" is the light streak in the sky; the rock that caused the meteor, if one is lucky enough to find it, is a "meteorite" and if an astronaut encounters a rock in near-Earth space BEFORE it becomes a meteor/meteorite, that's a "meteoroid."

They're generally named for the constellation they appear to originate from. For example, the Leonids appear to radiate from a location in the constellation Leo, and the Perseids from a location in the constellation Perseus.

There aren't meteor showers "in" the Ursa Major, or "in" any specific constellation. Meteor showers happen here in Earth's atmosphere; sometimes they seem to come from a specific direction (not the "real" direction, but a combination of the meteorites' movement and Earth's movement around the Sun), and are named after the direction (i.e., constellation) from which they come. When meteorites thus come in groups, they are believed to be the remainder of some comet, that happen to cross Earth's path around the Sun.

because they belve that the meteor can wish come true

will a meteor actually come 2055. yes it will but by 2020 weapons technology will be able to inercept anything in our path and iether destroy it or alter its path.
In the course of the Earth's history, millions of them have.
