Meaning of Vega
The name Vega is a unique and celestial choice for a baby, suitable for both boys and girls. Originating from Spanish, Vega is pronounced as BEH-gah (/ˈbeɣa/) in its native tongue, while in English it is commonly pronounced as VEE-guh (/ˈviːɡə/). The name derives from the Arabic word "waqi," meaning "falling" or "swooping," and it is famously associated with one of the brightest stars in the night sky, located in the constellation Lyra. This stellar connection gives the name a sense of wonder and brilliance. In recent years, Vega has seen modest use in the United States, with occurrences fluctuating but maintaining a presence since 1918. Its popularity peaked slightly in 2019 with 52 newborns given this distinctive name. A notable variation of Vega is Vegaan, offering an alternative spelling for those seeking something even more unique.
