Estera Origin and Meaning

The name Estera is a girl's name of Spanish origin meaning "star; myrtle".

Ranking in the Polish Top 200, Estera is a variation on the classic Esther. Possibly deriving from Ishtar, the Near Eastern Goddess of fertility, love, and war, or from Persian, to mean "star", Estera is also associated with the myrtle trees, via Hadassah, the Biblical Esther's original Hebrew name.

Notably borne by Romanian wrestler, Estera Dobre, Estera shares the flair of Estella and Estrella, and the classic feel of Esther.
