Thinking about the name
Ester
Hebrew origin
“A shortened, Scandinavian and Germanic form of Esther, derived from the Hebrew Hadassah meaning 'myrtle,' with roots possibly connected to the Persian word for 'star.' Ester is elegant in its simplicity and carries the biblical strength of Queen Esther without the ornamental length. The name is particularly cherished in Nordic cultures, where it remains both classical and contemporary.”
