Galilean
Like four moons
Galilean has two distinct meanings depending on context.
In astronomy and physics, it relates to Galileo Galilei: the Galilean moons are the four largest satellites of Jupiter that he discovered; Galilean relativity describes his principle of motion.
In biblical contexts, Galilean means from Galilee, the region in ancient Palestine where Jesus grew up.
Jesus is sometimes called the Galilean, and his early followers were Galileans.
