Names that mean Star anyone know any?

[sweetkitty]

Just having a muse really, DB4 will probably be DD4 and we would like to give her a middle name in honour of MIL who died last year, MILs name was Stella and this will not go with our proposed first name plus MIL hated her name anyway.

So am thinking is there another name which means Star, ideally it needs to be short as first name will be at least 3 syllables.

Any ideas?

There is the Slavic Zvezda, whose male version is Zvezdan (or Zvjezda/Zvjezdan). This has the added advantage of giving DC4 a very cool Z in his/her name!

This thread has just taught me that both my MN name and my RL name (which is very different) mean star - what a spooky coincidence!

Think it has been said already that Mary / Marie is related to star of the sea if Latin origin used, although Hebrew meaning is diff. I think it is something like "bitterly wanted child".

Anyway I like Marianne = Marie (star of the sea) + Anne (grace)

What about names meaning "light" like Lucy and Claire, as light comes from stars anyway?

jaype do it do it, then when dd3 arrives (I know it will be a gril ) I wont be the only one with a Nova!

Boris - I had a look at the ONS stats for last year and there were 8 of them. We are not alone in the Nova appreciation society! So here's to adding two to this year's list.

Elin is welsh for sunlight/sun ray not heard about the Elvish for star bit

Realt (Railt) is irish for star. Realtin (Rail -teen) means little star

jaype - I'd love it to be this year. Here's hoping, I'm def using Nova if it's another girl (which it will be, going by by 2 dds and 3 dsds!).

Oriel's nice, but I bet you get a lot of Ariel/Little Mermaid comments.

hanaflower Hester means star in Greek apparently

Hello sweetkitty. Tis DonutMum from July08. I like Tara and think it'll be nice with the other girls. Seren is lovely too.

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but how about a name of a constellation? www.perr.com/constellation.html has a lot of suggestions.

Luna? It's kinda star-related...

Seirian. (pron 'Serry-en).

Tara or Sitara?

Etoile? Izar? Twila/Twyla?
If we can go with actual stars, how about
Cassiopea? Lyra? Andromeda?

This thread is over 2 years old.

Hesper is the evening star.

Hesper is the evening star.

Hmmm. I wonder what she chose. Sorry about the double post

why not just go for Star?

What about ella? Not a star but Stella with the st dropped.

Andromeda - OK I know, not a star but I have just reread 'my sister's keeper'. Other constelations include Carina, Lyra and Vega.

Or what about just Star ?

Tara or Seren would be my top 2 here
