The origin of Sirius' name
Sirius's western name comes from Greek ∑ ε ρ ο, which means "scorched". After sunrise, the heat comes. The ancients thought that it was summer when Sirius and the sun rose at the same time, and the combination of Sirius's light and the sun's light was the reason for the hot weather in summer, so Sirius was called Sirius. The ancient Greeks called summer "dog day", because only dogs would run out like crazy in such hot weather, so this star was also called "dog star". The ancient Egyptians called Sirius Sothis, which means "the star on the water". The English orthodox name of s and rius comes from Latin s and rius, and from ancient Greek ∑εοο(Seirios means "warm weather" or "hot weather"), but this ancient Greek word may have developed from somewhere before the ancient Greek period. The earliest discovery of this name can be traced back to hesiod's poem Work and Time in the 7th century BC. Sirius has more than 50 other numbers and names. In Arabic, Sirius is called "ピ" (Pinyin: Al-ㄥ r ā or Al-Shira, Chinese: "Leader"), from which comes another name in English. In Sanskrit, Sirius is Mrgavyadha ("deer hunter") or Lubdhaka ("Hunter"). When called Mrgavyadha, Sirius stands for rudra (Shiva); When it was called Scandinavia, Sirius was regarded as Lokabrenna ("Loki put down the fire" or "Loki's torch"), and it was called Dr. O in Japanese dialect. In medieval astrology, Sirius was a Behnian star, associated with beryl and juniper. Its Kabbalah symbolic image: Canismaior.png is heard by Heinrich cornelius agrippa.
