What is the meaning of the name Esthele ?

Esthele is French in Origin.

Esthele is a rare contemporary feminine name likely formed by blending Estelle and Esther. Its semantics converge on “star”: Estelle comes from Latin stella (“star”), while Esther is often linked to Old Persian for “star” and to the Near Eastern goddess-name Ishtar; some scholars also point to a Hebrew root meaning “to hide,” giving an alternative sense of “hidden/hidden one.” This layered etymology makes Esthele both luminous and enigmatic.

Usage of its parent forms runs deep: Esther entered Europe through the biblical Queen of Persia and flourished in medieval and Puritan naming; Estelle rose in France in the 19th century and spread via romance-language Estela/Estella. Esthele appears chiefly in modern registers as an inventive respelling. Related forms and variants include Estelle, Estela, Estella, Estée, Esther, Ester, and Hester; nicknames range from Essie and Este to Ellie and Elle.
