There are no official names for stars, but there are a number of recognized designations for some stars. Stars that were known in antiquity often have colloquial names, which in some cases do have meanings in foreign languages. Dimmer stars that were discovered more recently sometimes have systematic names; systematic names have also been applied to the brighter stars that were already known. One of the most common methods is the Bayer designation, which assigns a Greek or Latin letter or pair of letters and appends it to the name of the constellation in which it appears. The Greek letters are assigned in approximate brightness order, but also influenced by position. So "Alpha Centauri" means a star in Centaurus that is probably very bright and may be located near the top of the constellation. "Mu Lyrae" would be a star in Lyra that is not particularly bright.What are the individual star names in english?Not all do...What are the individual star names in english?Here are some of the Arabic translations
