300+ Star Names (2023)

300+ Star Names (2023). Star names come from a variety of cultures and origins. Some are traditional names that have been used since ancient times, while others were given following a public contest and vote in recent years. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the only internationally recognized authority that can grant names and designations to stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, has authorized all official star names. Individuals cannot purchase celebrity names, nor may private organizations or commercial companies sell or give them away. Names that have not been approved by the IAU have no legal standing.

The table includes the stars’ Bayer, Flamsteed, or catalog designations, visual magnitudes, coordinates (right ascension and declination), and name meanings/origins, in addition to their names.
