From Greek hesperos (evening, western) plus the suffix -ic. Related to Hesperos, the evening star or god of evening in Greek tradition.
This word is a poetic cousin of 'Hesperian' and was favored by Renaissance scholars who loved connecting everyday observations—like the evening star—to classical mythology, making the sky itself a library of ancient stories.
