Stella: Girls Baby Name Meaning

Stella Baby Name

The name Stella means ‘star’.

Stella is of Latin and Italian origins; it derives directly from star (stella).

There is evidence that the name was used in England as far back as 1374, but it wasn’t until the 16th century when Sir Philip Sidney used the name in his sonnets “Astrophel to Stella,” that the name became commonly known. Stella is also used as a short form of Estelle.

The name Stella was famously bellowed by Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, and was used for their daughters by Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, Molly Shannon, Ellen Pompeo, Gena Lee Nolan, Jennifer Grey and Dave Matthews, among others.

Estella and Estrella are other possibilities.

Famous people who share the name Stella:

Stella Parton (American singer- sister of Dolly Parton); Stella McCartney (British (fashion designer and daughter of Beatle Paul McCartney);  Stella Adler (influential acting teacher, with Brando one of her prize pupils).
