Origin
Sigilyph seems to based on the geoglyph in the Nazca Lines, specifically the hummingbird figure, or the Andean Condor, and Kachina dolls. It also slightly resembles a wind chime.
Etymology
Sigilyph’s English name is a likely combination of “sigil” and “glyph” (both of which refer to old symbols), or possibly "sylph", which is a mythological spirit of the air according to folklore.
Its Japanese name, Symboler, appears to be a combination of “symbol” and “bora” or Ra.
