"San Helios" obviously references "san," whereas Sanghelios' etymology may be more complex; the Sangheili are a hotblooded warrior race, indicating a reference to one of two definitions of "sanguine" (in this case, "bloody" rather than "cheerful"). If so, "Sanghelios" may be doubly referential, nodding to both the bloody nature of the Sangheili and the harshness of their planet, as well as to its three suns. In Greek mythology, Helios was the personification of the sun.
