Name origin

From the Latin word caiam, "club" (in the accusative case), supposedly used in a classical poem alluding to the mythological figure Hercules, not the constellation. The word was applied as a star name in Renaissance times.

Additional information

It should be correctly spelled "Caia", in the nominative case.
