Common questions
How many stars have names?
gravityfinder lists 502 stars that carry a proper or official IAU name, from Acamar to Zubeneschamali, each with its constellation, distance, brightness and spectral class.
How was this list put together?
A name is not a measure of importance: most stars in this catalog have only a designation, and some of the most interesting ones (Barnard's Star, Wolf 359) are named for the astronomers who catalogued them rather than by any ancient tradition.
