Estelinda is Latin, Spanish in Origin.
Estelinda is a feminine given name used in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities, generally interpreted as a modern blend of Estela and Linda. Estela derives from Latin stella "star" (also related to Spanish Estrella), while linda is the Iberian adjective meaning "pretty/beautiful," and also echoes the Germanic name element -lind- ("soft, gentle"). Together, Estelinda carries the appealing sense "beautiful star" or "gentle star." The name surfaces in Iberian and Latin American records from the late 19th century onward, with sporadic use in the mid-20th century; it also appears in the Philippines through Spanish influence.
Variants and cognates include Estela/Estella, Estrella (Spanish), and the standalone Linda; related compounds are Rosalinda and Belinda. Diminutives and nicknames may be Esti, Este, Lin, Lindi/Lindy, or Linda. Usage remains uncommon today across Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Hispanic America, giving Estelinda an elegant, vintage-rare charm.
Estelinda is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 16 times, across 4 countries.
