 Gamma Corvi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name "Gienah Corvi" (or "Gienah Ghurab") may be used to distinguish it from this Gienah in Cygnus.
"Gienah" derives from Arabic, from Ulugh Beg's الجناح الغراب اليمن al-janāħ al-ghirāb al-yaman, meaning "the right wing of the crow", although on modern charts it marks the left wing.
In astrology, Gienah is supposed to have a similar effect to Mars and Saturn, tending to promote greed and craftiness.

 Gienah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Gienah (je-nuh), an obscure name for an important star in a prominent but small constellation, Corvus, the Crow or Raven, a very noticeable skewed box that crosses the sky just to the west of first magnitude Spica in Virgo.
Gienah is a class B blue giant with a temperature of 12,400, not much greaster than that of the much brighter supergiant Rigel in Orion.
Gienah's odd chemical composition separates it from the more ordinary "blue giants," the star a member of the class of "mercury- manganese" stars, the brightest of which is Alpheratz in Andromeda.

It is not surprising that the proud owner of the three-pointed star logo should seek heavenly inspiration for its new marks but perhaps its rivals have beaten it to the most obviously appealing names, with their Astra, Mercury and Scorpio models.
