History and Origin
Estelle is a female given name of French derivation of the Occitan word Estèla (Star) usually interpreted as meaning "star" via equation with "estoile" the Old French form of the modern French "etoile" whose Latin root is "stella". Saint Estelle is the name of a third-century Occitan martyr: the older form of her name Eustalia indicates a derivation from the Greek "eustales" i.e. well-groomed. The name Estelle was brought by the Normans to Great Britain, where it likely absorbed the Anglo-Saxon name Estrilde derived from Easter, either referencing the Christian festival or the dawn goddess whose name defaulted to that feast, combined with the element "hilde" meaning "warrior". Obsolete in English usage after the Middle Ages, Estelle was revived in the Victorian era after Charles Dickens gave the variant form Estella to a character in his 1860-61 novel Great Expectations; Estelle and Estella were popular from 1880 to 1930 with a subsequent decline to become unfashionable since 1960. Estelle is also used as an alternate form of Esther.
English: Old French name meaning ‘star’ (Latin Stella), comparatively rarely used during the Middle Ages. It was revived in the 19th century, together with the Latinate form Estella, which was used by Dickens for the ward of Miss Havisham in Great Expectations (1861).
