There are a total of 132 Stars with proper names compiled and organized in this comprehensive list. The selection includes IAU‑approved names as primary entries, widely used historical and traditional names (flagged when non‑IAU), and well‑established bright or culturally significant stars.

Stars with proper names are individual stars known by traditional, historical, or officially approved names rather than by catalog numbers. They range from bright, naked‑eye suns to fainter components of multiple systems and span a wide set of spectral types and distances. Many names derive from Arabic, Greek, Latin, or Indigenous languages and reflect centuries of navigation, mythology, and scholarship. When standardized by authorities like the IAU, proper names improve clarity in education, outreach, and scientific communication.

Interesting and little-known facts about Stars with proper names:

– The brightest named star in the night sky is Sirius, visible at magnitude −1.46, while many named stars are much fainter.
– Proper names can apply to individual components or to entire multiple systems; historical naming sometimes predates modern component designations.
– Named stars span distances from under ten light years to thousands, and many distances have been refined with Gaia parallax data.
– Hundreds of star names have been catalogued and standardized by the IAU, while cultural and historical names remain important in astronomy and public outreach.
