A name that means "star".

Estrella is the Spanish word for star, and it shines exactly as you would hope.

It is also a Marian title — Nuestra Señora de la Estrella — lending it a gentle devotional depth.

For a bright, guiding-light of a girl, Estrella is both classic and luminous.

Star — Spanish and shining.

Where Estrella stands.

Estrella does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
