Etîmolojî (Îngilîzî)

From Biblical Hebrew אֶסְתֵּר (ʾestēr) (possibly via Ancient Greek Ἐσθήρ (Esthḗr)), from Old Persian 𐎠𐎿𐎫𐎼 (a-s-t-r /⁠star-⁠/, “star”) or from עִשְׁתָּר (ʿištār, “Ishtar”). Compare Middle Persian [script needed] (stl /⁠star⁠/, “star”), [script needed] (stʾlk' /⁠stārag⁠/, “star”), Modern Persian ستاره (setâre, “star”).
