The Ancient Arabs, Greeks, Hindus, Romans - they all helped name the constellations. Different cultures have different names for the constellations.

constellation is a group of stars with a name assigned to it ;
Naming is the process of assigning a name to something. In the case of people this occurs generally at birth. In the sciences this occurs at the point of discovery.
Classifying organisms with a two-name system is called a binomial system, with the genus as the first name and species as the second name. For example, humans are Homo sapiens.

Stars are named by assigning them to constellations and designating them with Greek letters primarily for systematic identification and organization. This method, known as the Bayer designation, was developed by Johann Bayer in the 17th century, allowing astronomers to categorize stars within a constellation based on their brightness. The use of Greek letters, along with the constellation name, provides a straightforward way to reference stars, facilitating communication and study in the field of astronomy.
Apparently the constellation Bootes is the oldest constellation.

Most of the brighter stars were assigned their first systematic names by the German astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603, in his star atlas Uranometria.Most of the constellations are ancient, though the concept of assigning the entire sky, not just the asterisms, to constellations is relatively recent. The current boundaries were set up by Eugene Delporte in 1930.

When assigning a scientific name to an organism, scientists use a system called binomial nomenclature, where each name consists of two parts: the genus name and the species name. The genus name is capitalized and italicized, while the species name is lowercase and italicized. This naming system helps to identify and classify organisms accurately.

The Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy played a prominent role in naming stars by assigning them to constellations and giving them Greek letters in his work called the Almagest, which was a comprehensive text on astronomy and mathematical theories. His system of star designation has been influential in astronomy throughout history.
