Every time one of these threads comes up, I think I should just save a file on my computer with the explanation in it to just copy/paste on demand. 
When I was in college, I had a group of friends who all loved Star Trek. We would occasionally write parodies with ourselves as Trek alter-egos. So we all chose what race we wanted to be, and chose Trekkish sounding names.
My friend who did most of the writing was trying to come up with her own name, and I was giving her suggestions. We had just seen the opera Tosca, which I had absolutely adored. One of the minor characters was the Sacristan, and his theme was a delightful little melody that I found myself humming for days afterward. I suggested "Sakrysta" to her, but she didn't like it. I, however, did, so I decided that would be my alter-ego's name. And I chose to be Betazoid, because I was the one who knew what everyone else was thinking.
For years, the only references you could find to Sakrysta online referred to me. Now there are a couple others. David Mack named one of his minor characters Sakrysta in A Time to Kill because he thought my name was pretty.
That Sakrysta was a Kriosian, though, not Betazoid. He even put me on Fillion's away team, because he knew I was a huge Firefly fan. And there's a mining base in StarCraft named Sakrysta, which I just realized shows up in one of KRAD's StarCraft books, so he probably got the name from me too. I feel so special!
