Hello!

Lacerta - "The Lizard", is a relatively recent 'modern' constellation, one of several invented by Johannes Hevelius in 1687 to fill in some of the open areas between the major 'classical' constellations.
None of Lacerta's stars have proper names, and there are no legends associated with this constellation.
