Antares

A deep look at the name Antares reveals that it has its origin in Greece, and is named after a distinct star in the Scorpio constellation. The star got its name because of its reddish characteristics when viewed with the naked eye among the stars. It is such a giant star, and the brightest in the constellation Scorpio, and that makes it an interesting choice for babies born under that zodiac sign. This reddish tint of the star is associated with the red planet Mars but more importantly, its attribution to a particular god: the god of war called Ares makes up the underlying inspiration and meaning of the name. The meaning of Antares is ‘rival to Ares or Mars.’ But in other connotations, it is also often referred to as ‘the heart of the scorpion.’ The name Antares can be substituted with Alpha Scorpii, but because this is not so romantic or suitable for a name it is not been used in this regard. Antares is both a boy's name as well as it is a girl's; and has been used by many, even in movies like Antares Draco, an Imperial Knight from ‘Star Wars: Legacy.’ There's also a 2004 Austrian film directed by Götz Spielmann which has the name 'Antares'.
