Constellations.
Orion is sometimes called the Warrior.
Orion's Belt is called so because it is a prominent and distinct line of three stars in the constellation Orion that are located close together and roughly aligned. In ancient mythology, Orion was a mighty hunter, and the three stars were said to represent his belt or waistband. The name stuck over time due to the easy visual recognition of the three stars in a straight line.
