Estie is French, Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

Estie is a sweet diminutive rooted in several "starry" names. Most directly it stems from Esther, Hebrew via Persian, linked either to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar or to the Persian word for "star." It also echoes Estelle/Estella from Latin stella "star," and appears in Spanish/Scandinavian Ester. In Yiddish, Esty/Esti has long served as an affectionate form for girls named Esther, giving Estie a familiar, homespun feel.

Used for generations in Jewish communities of Central and Eastern Europe, Estie migrated into English-speaking countries as a pet name, and has recently gained currency as an independent given name amid the boom for nickname-firsts. Variants and cognates include Esti, Esty, Essie, Estée, Esta, Eszti (Hungarian for Eszter), and Hester as an English cognate of Esther. Across these roots, the prevailing meaning associates Estie with "star," radiance, and guidance, while the Ishtar link adds overtones of love and vitality.
