“stars, a company of stars”

What does Anjum mean?
Stars, a company of stars
In Turkish: yıldızlar, gökteki yıldız topluluğu
Anjum evokes multiple stars rather than one individual star. Its meaning can therefore be expressed as stars or a company of stars, without identifying a particular astronomical constellation. Necm and Nücûm are related to the same Arabic root, and the name occurs for both men and women across language traditions.
