About the name Estelle

Estelle is the French form of the Latin word for star, and Dickens gave it a memorable cruelty in Great Expectations. Stella has largely eclipsed it in recent decades, which leaves Estelle as the rarer and slightly more grown-up option.

Estelle is a girl name of Latin origin, pronounced es-TELL. On the NameRarity scale it scores 75 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1900s.
