Definition
A male given name; also historically a title for someone who entertains, from a court jester.
Etymology
From Old English place name 'Ligora-ceaster' (Leicester), but as a given name it may derive from 'lester' meaning jester or entertainer. The '-ster' suffix originally meant 'one who does.'
Kelly Says
If you name someone Lester, you're technically calling them 'one from Leicester,' but the name also echoes 'jester'—so it's like giving someone a name that hints at entertainment and wit.
