Meaning & History

From Greek ἀνιαρός (aniarós) meaning "sad, despairing". The name was invented by Swedish author Harry Martinson for the space ship in his poem of science fiction 'Aniara: en revy om människan i tid och rum' published in 1956. This is the name of the star HD 102956 in the constellation Ursa Major, orbited by the planet Isagel.
