What is the meaning behind Sirius Black's name?

Hint - it's not listed directly in any of her books, but it is on the net.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_Black


"As with many Rowling characters, Sirius's name reveals part of his nature. "Sirius Black" is a pun on the fact that Sirius can turn into a giant black dog; Sirius is the name of a star (the brightest one in the sky) which can be found in the constellation Canis Major (the big dog). The star Sirius was called "dog's star" by some ancient cultures such as the Egyptians. Most (but not all) of Sirius's family is likewise named after stars (Bellatrix is in the constellation of Orion; Regulus is in Leo. Andromeda is a constellation in the northern hemisphere, as is Draco)."
