Some of them are traditional names, used since ancient times, while others were given after a public campaign and vote in recent years. All official star names have been approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the only internationally recognized body that can assign names and designations to stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.Star names <a href="https://www.iau.org/public/themes/buying_star_names/">cannot be bought</a> by individuals nor can they be sold or given by private organizations and commercial enterprises. Any names that have not been approved by the IAU have no validity.<h2 style="text-align: center;">Named stars</h2>There are currently 495 named stars (see the <a href="#star_names">list below</a>). All these names were formally approved in recent years, but most of them have been used for centuries.Most traditional star names are Arabic in origin and many of them originated over a millennium ago, either on the Arabian Peninsula or in Arabic translations of Claudius Ptolemy’s Almagest, an astronomical and mathematical treatise written in Greek in the 2nd century CE.Many of these names were derived from Arabic descriptions found in the Almagest. Most of them refer to the stars’ positions in constellations. For instance, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/deneb/">Deneb</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/deneb-algedi/">Deneb Algedi</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/denebola/">Denebola</a> and Aldhanab, all derived from the Arabic word for “tail,” mark the tails of the celestial Swan (Cygnus), Sea Goat (Capricornus), Lion (Leo), and Crane (Grus, or formerly the Southern Fish, Piscis Austrinus), while <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/gienah/">Gienah</a> and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/aljanah-epsilon-cygni/">Aljanah</a>, derived from the Arabic word for “wing,” mark the wings of the Raven (Corvus) and the Swan (Cygnus).More recent names that have been widely adopted include the contractions such as <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/acrux/">Acrux</a> (Alpha Crucis), <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/gacrux/">Gacrux</a> (Gamma Crucis) and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/atria/">Atria</a> (Alpha Trianguli Australis), and the names given to the two navigational stars, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/peacock/">Alpha Pavonis</a> (Peacock) and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/avior/">Epsilon Carinae</a> (Avior), that did not have proper names when the list of navigational stars was compiled by Her Majesty’s Nautical Almanac Office (HMNAO) in the late 1930s.Since a number of traditional names were used for multiple stars (e.g. Gienah was used both for <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/gienah/">Gamma Corvi</a> and Epsilon Cygni) and many names referred to multiple star systems (e.g. <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/sirius/">Sirius</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/procyon/">Procyon</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/capella/">Capella</a>, <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/castor/">Castor</a>), it was important to standardise the use of these names for individual stars to avoid any confusion.In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formed a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to compile and catalogue the star names that have been commonly used throughout history and to approve unique names with standardised spellings. So far, the Group has officially approved names for 495 stars.Both the old and the new names have their roots in the cultural and astronomical heritage of countries around the world. Traditional names that have historically been used for multiple star systems have been formally assigned only to the brightest components, while the names that are commonly used for companions, e.g. Sirius B, Procyon B, and Fomalhaut B, are not treated as official.Since 2016, the Working Group on Star Names has released several bulletins with batches of approved names. The first bulletin, released in July 2016, contained a list of 125 names approved on June 30 and July 20, 2016. The second one, released in November 2016, included 102 names approved on August 21, September 12, October 5, and November 6, 2016. Most of the names released in the first two batches are traditional star names. In 2017, the WGSN announced 86 new names used in cultures around the world, including Chinese, Polynesian, Hindu, Australian Aboriginal, South African, and Mayan.In December 2019, the names of 112 stars with confirmed exoplanets were announced at a press conference in Paris. The names come from 112 countries and are rooted in their cultures and histories. They were proposed during the IAU100 NameExoWorlds campaigns, launched as part of the International Astronomical Union’s 100th anniversary commemorations.The campaigns engaged direct participation of astronomy enthusiasts around the world, who proposed a total of 360,000 names. National committees in each country created shortlists of candidate names, which were then submitted to a public vote.In June 2023, IAU selected 20 more names for stars with confirmed exoplanets as part of the NameExoWorlds 2022 campaign. The exoplanets orbiting these stars were also named in the campaign.In 2024, the IAU approved 19 new star names. The name Garnet Star was formally approved for Mu Cephei. The lucidae of the constellations Lacerta, Lupus, Mensa, Reticulum, and Tucana were given names that commemorate the early names of their host constellations. The names are Sumerian, Latin, Dutch, South African and Malayan in origin.In 2025, the IAU approved four new star names, Kulou for Iota Centauri, Quadrans for 44 Boötis A, Heng for Nu Centauri A, and Shimu for Zeta Andromedae Aa.Below is the list of all the star names approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Along with the names, the table shows the stars’ Bayer, Flamsteed or catalogue designations, visual magnitudes, coordinates (right ascension and declination), and name meanings/origins. The constellation is also provided if the star does not have a Bayer or Flamsteed designation.<h2 style="text-align: center;">LIST OF STAR NAMES</h2><table><tbody><tr><td>Name </td><td>Catalogue designation</td><td>Vmag</td><td width="113">RA</td><td width="106">Dec.</td></tr><tr><td>Absolutno</td><td>XO-5 (Lynx)</td><td>12.13</td><td width="113">07h 46m 51.9615s</td><td width="106">+39° 05′ 40.4606″</td></tr><tr><td colspan="5" width="619">XO-5 was named after the fictional mystical source of energy in The Factory for the Absolute (Továrna na absolutno, 1922), a science fiction novel written by the Czech writer Karel Čapek.
