Star-like or of the stars
Astara is a rare celestial name likely derived from the Greek 'aster' or the Persian 'stara', both meaning star. It shares etymological roots with the name Astra and the goddess Astarte. In modern usage, it is often chosen for its ethereal, cosmic associations and its melodic, feminine sound.
