Vega

Origin and meaning of Vega

Vega has a double origin: from the Spanish vega, 'fertile plain, meadow' (itself of likely pre-Roman root), and from the Arabic al-wāqi', name of the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. It thus holds both earth and sky, fertility and light. Rare and evocative, it is used mainly in Spain and the Hispanic world as a girl's name. Its crisp brevity and starry echo make it modern, poetic and distinctive.
