Nice , i wanted to know this but discovered that basically you have to speak arabic to do this.
Ptomely's Almagest was the goto list.
Book of Fixed Stars written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (known as Azophi in the West)
This nice list of Arabic star names, their meaning and the actual Arabic:

the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formed a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)
to compile and catalogue the star names that have been commonly used throughout history
and to approve unique names with standardised spellings.
star-facts / star names gives the full 448 stars and their details.

wikipedia list : "List of proper names of stars" , more or less same as above.
To quote from here:You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
<< All Arabic nouns carry grammatical gender whether they refer to animate or inanimate objects.
For inanimate objects, the relationship between grammatical gender and objects is arbitrary >>
In summary most star names are Arabic, some are greek, some just corrupted words and then the rest.
