Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno sa do slovenčiny dostalo prostredníctvom biblickej tradície z hebrejskej podoby אֶסְתֵּר (Estér), jeho jazykový základ však pravdepodobne nie je hebrejský. Najčastejšie sa spája so staroperzským slovom stāra vo význame „hviezda“; alternatívne sa vykladá ako podoba súvisiaca s akkadským menom mezopotámskej bohyne Ištar.
