Arcturus

Arcturus is usually a boy's name of Greek origin. The meaning of Arcturus is 'Bear guardian' or 'The one who guards the bear'. It is derived from the Greek word 'Arktorous' meaning 'Bear watcher', where 'Arktos' means bear and 'Auros' means Watcher. Arcturus (Alpha Bootes)is a giant star lying at a 36.7 light-years distance from the Earth. Arcturus is observed as the brightest star in the Bootes' (The Herdsman's) Constellation, the Fourth brightest star in the night sky, outshined only by Canopus, Sirius, and Alpha Centauri. Arcturus has been designated with a Bootes, the Latin name of which is 'Alpha Bootes'. Arcturus outshines 'Vega' 'Capella' and is the brightest star in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere. According to Greek Mythology, Arcturus was placed in the sky by Zeus to protect the two bears, i.e., the adjacent two constellations' Ursa Major' and 'Ursa Minor'. Hence, Arcturus got the name 'Guardian of the bears'. Arcturus means 'A gathering together' in the Biblical meaning of the name. Arcturus is pronounced as 'ARK-too-ruhs' and has been used since the time of Hesiod, circa 700 BC. A famous fictional Bearer is 'Arcturus Black' of The Harry Potter Series.
