Setareh

Meaning of Setareh

Setareh is a female given name deriving from the Persian lexical root setāreh, which denotes the astronomical object “star” and carries intrinsic associations with luminosity and guidance. The name is articulated in Modern Persian as /sɛtɑːˈɾeɪ/ and, when adopted within Anglo-American contexts, retains its phonetic structure with negligible variation. According to United States Social Security Administration data, Setareh has exhibited a consistent yet modest frequency, most recently ranking 943rd in 2024 with seven registered occurrences; similar figures were recorded throughout the previous decade, during which annual counts ranged from five to twelve births and rankings fluctuated between 908th and 955th. This stable, if limited, usage profile reflects a broader sociolinguistic trend favoring the integration of semantically transparent names possessing clear etymological origins and phonological precision, suggesting that parents value both the cultural resonance and technical clarity embodied by the name Setareh.
