History & Origin

Stiorra derives from Old English steorra, 'star' — brought to modern attention as the name of Uhtred's daughter in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories and TV's The Last Kingdom. Whether it was a genuine Anglo-Saxon given name is uncertain, which we note; the meaning is solid.

It registers thinly since the series aired. Rare, star at the root, and Saxon-fierce.

Did you know? Stiorra, Uhtred's defiant daughter in 'The Last Kingdom', explains her own name in the saga — 'star' — and viewers promptly began giving it to daughters.
