Ashtart is in Origin.

Ashtart is the Northwest Semitic theonym behind Greek Astarte; attested in Ugaritic as ʿṯtrt (Aṯtart) and in Phoenician inscriptions, cognate with Akkadian Ishtar and functionally parallel to Sumerian Inanna. She was venerated as a goddess of love and sexuality, fertility, and war, closely identified with the planet Venus; her cult spread across the Levant, Cyprus, and later Punic North Africa. In the Hebrew Bible the name appears as Ashtoreth, a polemical form that blends Ashtart with the Hebrew word for “shame.”

Its etymology traces to Proto‑Semitic ʿṯtr, also reflected in South Arabian ʿAthtar, a Venus deity; the precise lexical meaning remains debated and is often left “uncertain,” though popularly connected with “star.” Variants and related forms include Astarte, Ashtoreth/Ashtoret, Athtart/Attart, Ashtar/Athtar, and Ishtar; modern nicknames sometimes use Star. As a given name today, Ashtart is rare but finds occasional revival among mythologically minded parents and in neopagan circles.
