 While most Arabic star names are translations from Ptolemy's "Almagest", a small number of stars have retained names from native Arabian tradition; for example, there is a star in Lepus the Hare named "Nihal", meaning "The Camels Quenching Their Thirst" in Arabic, because Lepus ("the hare") was seen as a caravan of camels in ancient Arabia.A small number of Greek and Latin names have been preserved from antiquity, and have not been replaced by names derived from their Arabic equivalents.Examples include Sirius (Greek for "searing" or "scorching"), Arcturus (Greek for "Guardian of the Bear"), Capella (Latin for "Little She-goat"), and Spica (Latin for "Ear of Grain").
