Morphology

Uranian = Uranus (transparent) = Uran + ian

Regular formation meaning 'a person from or associated with Uranus'; the inhabitant sense is predictable from the base plus '-ian'.

Etymology

Uranian follows the same pattern as Martian and names someone from the planet Uranus, and Uranus comes from the Greek Ouranos meaning 'sky'. So a Uranian in stories is a fictional person who comes from Uranus.
