Stella
Stella means "Star". It is read here through origin, sound, cultural story, numerology and symbolic element rather than popularity alone.
Ancient root and name story
Origin: Latin. Meaning: 'star'. As a given name it was created by the 16th-century poet Philip Sidney for the subject of his sonnet sequence Astrophel and Stella.
It was later used as a nickname for Esther Johnson (1681-1728), a woman close to Jonathan Swift, though it did not become common as a given name until the 19th century.
The name also appears in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), belonging to the sister of Blanche DuBois. These literary uses are part of the name's reception, distinct from its plain Latin meaning of 'star'.
