The name Sirius refers to the star of the same name. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It is also the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Great Dog) it is sometimes called the Dog Star. The name Sirius Black therefore fits very nicely with his ability to transform into a large black dog. Several of Sirius' relatives are also named after stars and constellations.

When will Sirius the star become a Black Dwarf?

Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is a binary system consisting of Sirius A and Sirius B. Sirius B, which is a white dwarf, will eventually cool and fade into a black dwarf over an estimated timeframe of trillions of years. However, the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to currently exist, including Sirius B. Therefore, Sirius A and B will not become a black dwarf for billions of years, far beyond the current age of the universe.
