'aludra' originates from Arabic, specifically the word 'al-ʿudhrā', where 'al-' meant 'the' and 'ʿudhrā' meant 'virgin'.

'al-ʿudhrā' transformed into the Latin word 'Aludra', and eventually became the modern English word 'aludra'.

Initially, it referred to 'the virgin', but over time it evolved into its current meaning as a star name.
