Monoceros, which is Greek for "unicorn," is a relatively faint constellation in an area of more famous and brighter constellations. It was added to the heavens by Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius in 1612.

In 1624, the German astronomer Jacob Bartsch depicted it in his star charts. He pointed to several mistranslated passages in the Bible that mention unicorns. It's unknown if these passages inspired Plancius to put the Unicorn in the heavens.

Only two stars here have names:

Citalá (HD 52265) is a Sun-like star about 98 light years away. It has one confirmed exoplanet orbiting it, about the mass of Jupiter, named Cayahuanca. Both names were given by the people of El Salvador: Citalá means "river of stars" in the native Nahuat langauge, while Cayahuanca means "the rock" in the same language.

Lusitânia (HD 45652) is another Sun-like star about 114 light years away. It has one confirmed exoplanet orbiting it, about half the mass of Jupiter, named Viriato. Both names were given by the people of Portugal: Lusitânia is the ancient name of the area of modern-day Portugal, while Viriato was a legendary leader of the Lusitanian people.
