* Sualocin: The brightest star, Alpha Delphini, has the proper name Sualocin, which is actually "Nicolaus" spelled backwards. This is a tribute to Niccolò Cacciatore, an Italian astronomer who cataloged stars in the 18th century.
* Rotanev: The second brightest star, Beta Delphini, has the proper name Rotanev, which is "Venator" (meaning hunter) spelled backwards, likely a reference to another astronomer, Giovanni Battista Hodierna.
* Deneb Dulfim: The third brightest star, Gamma Delphini, also known as "Deneb Dulfim", is sometimes referred to as "Delfin".
While these are the main named stars, there are a few other stars in Delphinus with Bayer designations (e.g., Epsilon Delphini, Zeta Delphini) but they don't have widely recognized proper names.
