Man... so I'm reading a list of Arabic star names, right. The name Fomalhaut (part of Pisces) apparently derives from Fum al-Hut, meaning "mouth of the whale". And the star Algebar was originally (Rijl) ul-Jabbar, "(foot) of the giant".
So I'm surmising that naming your desert king "Jabba the Hut" is akin to christening them "Big McLarge".
