Relating to or resembling the Cyanea genus of jellyfish, or historically, relating to anything blue or blue-colored (from Greek kyanos).
From Cyanea (the jellyfish genus) + -an (forming adjectives meaning 'of or relating to'). Also connects to ancient Greek kyanos meaning 'dark blue.'
Cyanean carries an ancient pedigree—in Greek mythology, the Cyanean Rocks were the famous 'Clashing Rocks,' and the word blue appears throughout ancient literature as a color both fascinating and slightly mysterious to ancients who had less blue dye available than other colors.
