Astrik is Hungarian in Origin.

Astrik carries layered origins. In medieval Latin sources it appears as Astricus/Astericus, likely from Greek astēr “star” with the Latin adjectival suffix -icus, yielding the sense “star-like” or “of the stars.” The name is also tied to Hungarian Asztrik, borne by the Benedictine missionary and first archbishop of Esztergom (c. 950–1030), a key figure in the coronation of King Stephen I. Some scholars equate that cleric’s name with Anastasius, from Greek anástasis “resurrection,” so both “starry” and “resurrection” are plausible interpretive lines.

Usage has been strongest in Central Europe, where Asztrik is a rare but established masculine name in Hungarian ecclesiastical and historical contexts. In Armenian communities, Astrik can surface as a diaspora spelling related to Astghik (“little star”), giving it occasional feminine use. Variants and cognates include Astricus, Astericus, Asztrik (Hu.), and Astghik (Arm.); short forms may include Asta or Rik.
