Meaning & origin
Estellar is a rare and unusual name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1895, a time when similar star-inspired names like Stella and Estelle were gaining popularity. It reached its peak usage in 1905, after which its usage declined. The name has remained stable but extremely uncommon, with no significant revival in recent decades. Even in its peak year, it was never among the top 1000 names, so its rank is unavailable. Its 1-in-N ratio for the latest available year is also unknown, reflecting its scarcity. Top states for Estellar are not recorded, as the name has appeared too infrequently to generate state-level data. The trajectory of the name is stable, meaning it has not shown significant increases or decreases in usage over time.
Estellar appears to be a rare name, first recorded in the United States in 1895. It may be a modern respelling or elaboration of Estelle or Estella, both derived from the Latin 'stella' (star). However, its exact derivation is unclear, and it was never widely adopted. After a peak in usage in 1905, the name has remained consistently uncommon.
