502 Sigune is a minor planet, specifically an asteroid orbiting primarily in the asteroid belt. Like 501 Urhixidur and 500 Selinur, it is named after a character in Friedrich Theodor Vischer's then-bestseller satirical novel Auch Einer.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2lzoCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA84|title=Dictionary of Minor Planet Names |date=2013 |last=Schmadel |first=Lutz D. |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |page=84 |isbn=978-3-662-02804-9}}
