The baby name Este is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ES-tee,ES-tay,ES-teh.
Este is Hebrew in Origin.
Este has dual roots: as a toponymic surname-turned-given name from the Italian town of Este (Latin Ateste, from the Athesis/Adige river), and as a clipped or stylized form related to Esther/Estelle. In the latter line it shares the meaning “star,” deriving either from Persian‑via‑Hebrew Esther or from Latin stella through French Estelle. Pronunciations vary: Italian EH-steh; English often ESS-tay or ESS-tee.
The name is best known from the House of Este, the influential medieval–Renaissance dynasty of Ferrara and Modena; modern given-name use grew later, buoyed by surname-as-first trends and the prominence of Estée (as in Estée Lauder). Este is now rare but cross-cultural and unisex. Variants and related forms include Estée, Estee, Ester, Esther, Estela/Estella/Estelle, and the nickname Essie; d’Este survives as a surname. Not to be confused with Esteban/Estêvão, which stem from Stephen.
