Sidereal Origin and Meaning

The name Sidereal is a boy's name meaning "with respect to the distant stars".

Elon Musk and Grimes used Sideræl as a middle name for their daughter, whose full name is Exa Dark Sideræl but is nicknamed Y. They modeled the name after the word sidereal, which Grimes defines as "the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time." Will it inspire any babies named Sideræl or Sidereal? We won't hold our breath, but we'll be watching.
