I am a female. When my great great aunt was pregnant with my great aunt, some Indians were passing by and their wagon broke down. My great great aunt and her family helped them. They then asked my great great aunt if she had a girl would she name her Wastella and they did. I was named after my great aunt. I'm not sure but the Indians may have been
Cherokee. I can't seem to find the meaning anywhere.
My Mother seemed to think it may mean either Little or Big
Star!!
