[Opinions] Re: Estrella
in reply to a message by Amy.B
In the Spanish language we cannot have a word starting with a consonant, it must be added an E like in Estereo or Estereotipo thus Stella wouldn't be considered a Spanish name but rather Italian with the same meaning like Estrella/Star.
Of course Ester/Esther is a totally different ballgame as Ester is the name of an ancient queen of Babylon some 3 thousand years ago but very popular nowadays in the Spanish speaking countries (of course without the middle H).
Estela (one L) means in Spanish Wake or Trail, "la estela del barco" but a well known derivative is the well known Stella by Arthur Miller or the one by Tennessee Williams.
