Sattara is Arabic in Origin.

Sattara is a rare feminine given name with several converging roots. It most commonly reads as a modern elaboration of Persian-Urdu Sitara/Setara (from Persian setareh, "star"), with consonant doubling for style. In Arabic contexts it can echo Sattar, "the concealer/forgiver," one of the Divine epithets, making Sattara a feminized adaptation. The name also overlaps with the South Asian toponym Satara, a historic city in Maharashtra whose name is linked to the area's seven hills and forts, giving the sense "from/of Satara."

Documented use is sporadic from the late 20th century onward in South Asia, the Middle East, and diasporic communities, and it also appears in African-American naming, though it has not charted widely. Variants and related forms include Satara, Satarah, Sattarah, Sattareh, Sitara, Setara, and Setareh; the masculine root Sattar is cognate. Depending on the pathway, Sattara can mean "star," "from Satara," or "one who covers/protects."
