[Facts] Re: Etymology of a proper name
I thought I'd read somewhere that Soraya referred to a set of stars that the Western world considers to be part of the Big Dipper. Or it may refer to the Ursa Major constellation itself. I do seem to remember that it was seven stars though. Hope this helps. --CAE
