Delta Persei (
Latinized from
δ Persei; abbreviated
Delta Per,
δ Per) is the star's
Bayer designation. This star, together with
ψ Per,
σ Per,
α Per,
γ Per and
η Per, has been called
the Segment of Perseus. In
Sámi culture, Delta Persei is part of
Sarvvis (or
Sarvva), the reindeer or moose, a large constellation in
Cassiopeia,
Perseus, and
Auriga. Sarvvis is pursued by the hunter
Fávdna, the star
Arcturus. The
IAU Working Group on Star Names approved the name Sarvvis for Delta Persei A on 25 December 2025, after the Sámi constellation, and it is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.
ε Persei was named
Áldu, after the Sámi word for a female reindeer. == References ==
