Origem do nome

A Latin word meaning "pot" or "bucket", used in Renaissance philological studies as the translation of the Arabic constellation name al-dalw, for Aquarius. Subsequently the word was applied as a star name to k Aqr. The Arabs located al-dalw ("the Well Bucket") in today's Square of Pegasus. In that location it corresponded to what in other cultures was Aquarius among the zodiacal signs. The Arabs subsequently used the indigenous name al-dalw for the Greek Water Pourer (Aquarius).
