Meaning & origin
Setareh, a name of Persian origin meaning 'star,' entered U.S. records in 1981. While it has never ranked among the top 1000 names, its popularity peaked in 2012, suggesting a modest spike in interest. Since 2017, usage has been in decline, reflecting a gradual move away from this celestial choice. Despite its low frequency, the name carries cultural significance within Persian communities and appeals to parents seeking a lyrical and meaningful name.
Setareh is a Persian word meaning 'star,' derived from Middle Persian 'stārag' and ultimately from Proto-Iranian *star-. It is a common given name in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities, often chosen for its celestial imagery.
