Esrela is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.
Esrela is a modern feminine given name likely shaped by the convergence of Iberian Estrela/Estrella and the biblical Esther. Estrela and Estrella come from Latin stella, “star,” via Portuguese and Spanish, while Esther is widely linked to Old Persian stāra/setāreh “star” and to the goddess Ishtar. Through these streams, Esrela carries the luminous meaning “star,” with a cosmopolitan feel that blends romance-language sound with scriptural echoes.
Usage is rare and contemporary, noted sporadically in the late 20th and early 21st centuries among parents seeking a fresher twist on Estrella or Esther. Spelling variants and near-forms include Esrella, Esréla, and Esrelah; related cognates are Estrela (Portuguese), Estrella (Spanish), Estella/Estela, Stella, and Esther/Hester. Possible nicknames are Essie, Esti, Ela, and Rela. With its clear celestial meaning and cross-cultural roots, Esrela offers a distinctive yet intuitively familiar choice.
