The name Eridanus in Latin means "The River." The named stars in this constellation are Achernar "end of the river," Cursa "chair or footstool of Orion," Zaurak "boat," Rana "frog," Zibal, Azha "hatching place," Acamar "end of the river," Beid "eggs (of an ostrich)," Keid "broken eggshell," Angetenar "curve of the river," Theemim, and Sceptrum. You may have noticed that I had two stars that had the same meaning. The star named Acamar was actually named before the star Achernar.
