A female given name, or in religious contexts, a biblical queen known for her courage.
From Hebrew 'Hadassah' (myrtle), but the name 'Esther' comes from the Persian 'star' or possibly from the goddess Ishtar. It became widely used in English through the biblical Book of Esther.
Queen Esther in the Bible is famous for risking her life to save her people—the name literally means 'star' in Persian, making her sound as bright and courageous as her story suggests.
