Origin: Latin

Meaning: Star

A Spanish twist to the Latin Stella, Estrella is a feminine name that shares the meaning "star." Celestial bodies have amazed humans for eons, which can be seen in Estrella's ancient Anatolian root, ḫašterz[a], dating back to the Hittites of the Anatolian Bronze Age. A shining beacon inside and out, it's no wonder Estrella finds itself among a close-knit group of similar-sounding appellations—none of which compare to your little leading hero.
