Cygnus
Cygnus is the constellation of the swan which is seen in the summer and autumn in the northen hemisphere. The milky way runs through it so it is particularly beautiful on a dark night.
The etymology of the star name Deneb is from Arabic ذنب الدجاجة Dhanab ad-Dajāja, 'The Hen's tail' (according to Wikipedia)
