Most of the names of stars are taken from Arabic. Vega came from a tansliteration of "Al Nesr al Waqi" meaning "the falling eagle". Waqi later transliterated to W(V)ega means "falling".
Rigel came from the Arabic name Rijl Jauzah al Yusrā, "the left leg (foot) of Jauzah(Orion)". Rijl laer transliterated to Rigel means "leg, foot".
