What is the meaning of the name Sitora ?

The baby name Sitora is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced see-TOH-rah (IPA: /siˈtɔːrə/).

Sitora is Persian in Origin.

Sitora is a feminine name common in Tajik and Uzbek, ultimately from Persian Setare/Setareh (ستاره), meaning "star." It shares Indo-Iranian roots for "star" and belongs to a long poetic lexicon across Persian and Turkic languages. Cognates and variants include Sitara (Urdu/Hindi), Setara or Setareh (Persian), Setare, and Sitare (Ottoman/Turkish), with occasional transliterations such as Sitorah.

Used across the Persianate world - from Iran and Afghanistan to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent - the name evokes celestial beauty, guidance, and good fortune in classical verse and folklore. In Tajikistan and Uzbekistan it remains familiar, sometimes paired with honorifics like Sitorabonu or Sitoraxon. Modern bearers in Central Asian arts and sports help sustain its popularity, while the core meaning of "star" keeps Sitora a luminous, elegant choice.
