Vega
Arabic origin
“Derived from the Arabic word 'waqi' meaning 'falling' or 'descending,' Vega is most famous as the name of one of the brightest stars in the night sky, located in the constellation Lyra. The star connection gives this name an astronomical elegance and sense of wonder, while maintaining a short, punchy sound. It's a name that evokes both celestial beauty and modern minimalism.”
