Welcome to the forum.

Answer 3

I think that from Veyga, coming from Vayca, coming from Vaica, coming from Vallecula (valle): latin noum that means "wide and plain land that receives water"

But let's wait what experts say!

Answer 4

The name of the constellation comes from Arabic, and it originally meant "eagle of the desert".

The word "vega" (=fertile land) in Spanish comes probably from Basque baika, meaning "related to the river".
