History & Origin
Estellar is a rare, ornamented form of Estella and Estelle, all descended from the Latin 'stella,' 'star.' The star-names were fashionable in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and this elaborated spelling belongs to that romantic, celestial vein of American naming.
It was always very rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1921, and had faded by mid-century. A girl named Estellar then would belong to her great-grandparents' generation today.
