Spanish: from estrella ‘star’ (Latin
stella). Although in some cases it may derive from the
medieval female personal name Estrella, also a Marian name
(María de la Estrella) or from a nickname, in most instances it
was probably a habitational name from any of the numerous places named
Estrella or from La Estrella in Toledo; other possibilities are a
topographic name for someone who lived at a place from which roads
radiated out in a star shape or a habitational name for someone who
lived at a house distinguished by the sign of a star.
