It's also called the Cygnus Arm or Cygnus-Norma Arm, which might give you a clue to the source of the name if you're more familiar with northern constellations than southern ones. Norma is one of the constellations the Milky Way passes through. It's otherwise fairly unremarkable, consisting mainly of two moderately bright stars, so it's not surprising that many people have never heard of it.
