Yes, many of the star names currently used are either Arabic or corruptions of Arabic names, because the West got Ptolemy’s great work via the Arabs, but some of the brightest have Greek or Roman names, including Sirius, Canopus, Arcturus, Capella, Procyon, Spica, Antares, Pollux, Regulus, and Castor.
