Morphology

Cyanus = cyan (semi-transparent) = cyan + us

The given name is clearly formed from the colour root 'cyan' with a Latin ending, but as a personal name its meaning is not a productive semantic derivation for learners.

Etymology

Cyanus as a rare given name comes from the same root kyaneos meaning 'blue'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone named after the bright blue cornflower.
