Aludra is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Arabic. It is the name of HIP 35904 (η CMa, HR 2827) in constellation CMa.
Etymology and History
Applied in recent times from the alternative Arabic asterism name al-(udhra, "the Virginity", and (udhrat aljauza), "the Virginity [?] of al-jauza)", for ε, δ, η and ο2 CMa. The name (udhrat al-jauza), by tying it with the nearly Arabic asterism al-jauza) (today's Orion), may have been an attempt to apply significance to the enigmatic and perhaps older name al-(udhra.
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN on 2016/07/20.
