Star Baby Names
345 Star names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.
Star baby names reach for the night sky — names that mean “star,” echo constellations, or simply carry that same sense of light and wonder. Parents drawn to this theme want something cosmic and hopeful, from the plainspoken Star to elegant, star-rooted classics like Stella and Estelle.
What makes a name a “star” name?
Most trace back to the Latin or Greek word for star — stella and astron — or to specific stars and constellations, like Lyra and Adhara. Others, like Nova, borrow straight from the language of astronomy.
Star girl names
Girl names offer the richest variety: soft classics like Stella, Estella and Estrella; sleeker modern picks like Nova and Starr; and international variations such as Sitara, Danica and Citlali.
Star boy names
Boy options lean bright and metallic, like Sterling, or lift straight from the cosmos with Astro, Stellan and Aster.
Every name below links to its own page with a sourced meaning, U.S. popularity, famous bearers, and a clear audio pronunciation — so you can hear it before you choose.
