Origins of "Star" as a Pub Name
Almost always a reference to a celestial body, The Star as a pub name may have been influenced by one of many alternate uses of the device. For example, if prefixed by a number, e.g. Seven, this could be a link to the Plough constellation of 7 stars.
What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.

With so many pubs across the UK regularly opening, closing, changing hands, changing name it's a non-stop job keeping our database up to date!
