Selected answer:From "asteros" ("star")
Explanation:
If you are looking for the meaning of the Latinisation "asteropaeus", it is clearly related to "asteros" ("star"), and is possibly a combination of that with "paion", a dialect version from "pagios" ("solid", or "steadfast"). Thus, the name would mean "steadfast star".

It may also be related to "asteropetes" ('The Brightener'), a name given to the god Zeus (see Cornutus Philosophus, 'de Natura Deorum').
