Sinology distinguishes between single star-asterisms (star names) and multi star-asterisms (groups of stars, connected with imagined lines).

A star name in the modern sense labels a host star of a planetary system and a star name in the classical (popular astronomy) sense labels a dot of light in the sky. A single star-asterism may consider the dot as center of the adjacent dark areas implying that it entails more than only the dot of light.
