Constellation names are mostly derived from Greek mythology and were given their names in Greek. However, during the Middle Ages, the Arab world played a significant role in astronomy and many of their observations and star names were later translated into Latin. The Latin translations became the language of science in Europe until the 19th century. Therefore, the constellation names are ultimately from Greek, but they were translated into Latin.
