Astrik
Astrik Origin and Meaning
Astrik is a feminine name with ancient roots, possibly derived from the Persian word for star ("setare") or connected to the Greek "aster" with the same meaning. This celestial connection gives the name associations with brightness, guidance, and aspiration. Astrik may also relate to the historical Saint Astrik (or Astericus), a 10th-century Hungarian archbishop, though the feminine usage appears to be a modern adaptation. Extremely rare in contemporary use, Astrik offers a distinctive alternative to more common star-related names like Stella or Esther. Its unique sound combines melodic qualities with a strong ending, creating a memorable impression. The name appeals to parents seeking something celestial yet uncommon, with potential nicknames including Asti or Rika.
