ASTARTE.
Persian form of Assyrian Sitarch
(q.v.), meaning "star."
(Girls' Christian Names, Swan, 1905). Also see English Esther,
and Phoenician Ashtoreth.
... It is philologically akin to our
English Esther and
Star, the Greek
Ἀστήρ.
Astarte, too, was identified
by the Venerable Bede with the Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, at whose
festival, our Easter, the stars of Virgo shine so brightly in the eastern
evening sky... (Star-names and their Meanings, Allen, 1899).
