What is the meaning of the name Eszti ?

The baby name Eszti is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɛsti/ (ES-tee).

Eszti is Hebrew in Origin.

Eszti is a Hungarian diminutive of Eszter, the Hungarian form of Esther. The biblical name, borne by the Jewish queen of Persia, is commonly traced to Persian setareh/setare, meaning 'star', though some scholars link it to the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar. In Jewish tradition, Esther’s Hebrew name Hadassah means 'myrtle', a related but distinct association. In Hungarian orthography, sz represents the s sound, so Eszti is pronounced roughly ES-tee.

Long used as an affectionate home-name for girls named Eszter, Eszti has also begun to stand on its own as an independent given name in modern Hungary. Related Hungarian forms include Eszter (formal), Eszterke and Esztike (endearing diminutives). International cognates are Esther and Hester (English/Dutch), Ester (Scandinavian/Spanish), Estera (Polish and South Slavic), and Estée/Estee (French-influenced). The prevailing meaning attached to Eszti is 'star', suggesting brightness, guidance, and quiet strength.
