Stella

Celestial feminine name

Stella is a feminine given name, from the Latin word for star.

It carries connotations of brightness and beauty: Stella was the prettiest girl in school.

The name appears in literature—notably in Tennessee Williams's *A Streetcar Named Desire*, where Stanley's anguished cry Stella! became iconic.
