Meaning & Origin
a female given name
Estrellita is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, meaning 'little star,' the diminutive form of estrella (star). The -ita suffix in Spanish is a term of endearment, making the full name essentially 'little star, my dear.'
The name is immortalized by the classic Mexican song Estrellita (1912) by Manuel M. Ponce, one of the most beloved art songs in Latin American music. Choosing Estrellita is choosing a name that sings — luminous, tender, and full of warmth.
