¥"シリウス¥" is a name of a star in Japanese, but its correct spelling is ¥"Sirius¥", not ¥"silius¥".

But, ¥"silius¥" will be also written as ¥"シリウス¥", since, in the Japanese phonology, we do not distinguish L and R sounds.
When we hear or see ¥"シリウス¥", we may usually recall the star.

Coming back to your question, ¥"シリウス¥" is a Japanese word, but it is not for a person¥'s name (i.e., silius), but for a name of the star (i.e., ¥"Sirius¥"). So, the answer will be yes and no. As for meaning, since it is a proper noun, it does not have a meaning; it¥'s just a name.
