Grimes explained her daughter’s unique name to the outlet, tellingVanity Fairthat Exa refers to a supercomputing term, exaFLOPS, while Dark represents “the unknown.” She explained, “People fear it but truly it’s the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.”
Sideræl, the third part of Y’s full name, is pronounced “sigh-deer-ee-el,” according toVanity Fair.Grimes called the word “a more elven” spelling ofsidereal,which she defined as “the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time.”
Sideræl has a double meaning, too, as a shoutout to Grimes' favoriteLord of the Ringscharacter, Galadriel, who “chooses to abdicate the ring.”
