The name Sirius refers to the star of the same name. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It is also the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Great Dog) it is sometimes called the Dog Star. The name Sirius Black therefore fits very nicely with his ability to transform into a large black dog. Several of Sirius' relatives are also named after stars and constellations.
