Delphini

Delphini is the Latin genitive form of Delphinus, meaning "of the dolphin." In astronomy, Delphini is used in the naming of stars within the constellation Delphinus, the Dolphin.

The Bayer designation system combines a Greek letter with the genitive of the constellation name, so stars in Delphinus bear names such as Alpha Delphini and Beta Delphini, with additional designations as Gamma Delphini, Delta Delphini, and so on. The two brightest stars in the constellation are Alpha Delphini, also known by the traditional name Sualocin, and Beta Delphini, Rotanev.

The use of Delphini in star names reflects the Latin tradition of attributing the genitive of a constellation's name to its constituent stars. Delphini is primarily a scientific term used in astronomy; outside of technical contexts, the word Delphini may be encountered as a Latin-inspired proper name in modern fiction or as a surname, but it is not associated with a single widely recognized entity beyond astronomical usage.
