Its name "Rho Cassiopiae" is the [[Bayer Designation]] for the star, where the [[Greek]] letter Rho indicates the star's relative brightness to the other stars in the constellation it is in. Higher letters indicate dimmer stars, so Rho Cassiopeiae's designation as rho indicates it is a dim star in Cassiopeiae. Though one of the dimmer stars in Cassiopia, it can still be observed with the unaided eye relatively easily.
