Astro
Greek origin
“Directly derived from the Greek prefix 'astro' meaning 'star,' this name is maximally transparent in its celestial meaning. Astro is punchy, modern, and openly embraces its cosmic inspiration—perfect for parents who love astronomy or want a name that feels contemporary and energetic. It has a retro-futuristic charm reminiscent of mid-century space optimism.”
