Esteri is Hebrew in Origin.
Esteri is the Finnish form of Esther, the name of the queen in the Hebrew Bible. It entered Finnish use via Christian tradition, with roots commonly traced to Old Persian stāra 'star' and sometimes linked to the goddess Ishtar; in Jewish sources, Esther’s birth name Hadassah means 'myrtle.' Thus Esteri is widely understood to carry the sense of a 'star.'
In Finland the name gained currency in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of vernacular forms, and has seen a modest modern revival. International variants include Esther, Ester (Scandinavian, Spanish, Italian), Hester (English/Dutch), Eszter (Hungarian), Estera (Polish, Romanian), and Esteri itself in Finnish and Karelian. Pet forms include Essi, Esta, and Etti. Note: in Finnish, 'esteri' is also the word for a chemical ester, unrelated to the personal name.
