Suculae

sucula Latin Etymology Apparently from Greek grc Ὑάδες by the analogy Greek grc ὗς pig, hog: Latin la sūs pig, hog :: Greek grc Ὑάδες : Latin Suculae. Thus, the Latin name in some sense is based on la sucula little sow, although it's unclear whether the Greek constellation name is actually ultimately from grc ὗς (it is traditionally derived instead from grc ὕω rain). However, Peck thinks the resemblance to the Greek name is coincidental and that the Latin name had a native origin.
