Stiorra
A girl's name with 111 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
alternative form of steorra
Stiorra is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, the Old English word for 'star' — from the ancient Germanic root that eventually became the modern English 'star.' The historical spelling gives this celestial name an extraordinary antique beauty.
Stiorra appeared in Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom saga and its Netflix adaptation, as the beloved daughter of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. The name's Old English origin — the actual word speakers of Anglo-Saxon England used for star — gives it a historical authenticity that modern name-coinages can never match.

Stiorra appeared in SSA records in 2020, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. The absence of a clear traditional origin is itself a signal: this may be a name that was created rather than inherited.
With only 111 recorded births, Stiorra has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
