    Alpha is still used within the phonetic alphabet to signify the letter A.  It is also used in astronomical terms to describe the chief star in a constellation.  The phrase 'alpha male' is used in common language to describe a successful man who is very driven and ambitious (alpha female is also becoming more common in usage).  However,  we don't have the term Omega male……
