Gienah
Gienah was the traditional name of two stars, each marking a wing (Arabic al janāħ) of its constellation:
- Gamma Corvi aka Gienah Corvi, in Corvus
- Epsilon Cygni aka Gienah Cygni, in Cygnus
The International Astronomical Union approved the name Gienah for Gamma Corvi A in 2016 and Aljanah for Epsilon Cygni Aa in 2017.[1]
