What Does the Name Astria Mean?
Astria is a feminine name meaning "of the stars," from the Greek astron (ἄστρον), "star," and its plural astra (ἄστρα), "stars." The ending -ia is a feminine suffix common in Latin and in Latin-derived names, giving the sense "starry" or "belonging to the stars." The name is related in root to Astra and Astraea, but it is a distinct form; its meaning is literal, not an allusion to a particular myth.
Astria Name History & Origins
Astria rests on a Greek root that also gave English the combining form astro-, as in astronomy and astral. Greek astron passed into Latin as astrum, and the plural astra supplied a stem for learned and poetic vocabulary in European languages. The mythological name Astraea comes from Greek Astraia, a separate name for the goddess of justice; Astria is close to it in sound but should not be treated as the same name. Its -ia ending follows a common pattern in Latinized feminine names, which helped star-derived forms enter English and other European naming traditions.
