Stiorra

Meaning of Stiorra

Stiorra, a feminine appellation rooted in the Old English element steorra, literally “star,” manifests a scholarly fusion of medieval linguistic heritage and modern naming practice; its phonemic rendering (/sti.ˈor.ɑ/) remains faithful to its etymological antecedent, while its semantic resonance invokes the motif of a guiding star. Although its incidence within the United States remains modest—escalating from five recorded births in 2020 (rank 951) and nine in 2021 (rank 938), through thirty in 2022 (rank 914) and twenty-eight in 2023 (rank 930), to thirty-nine in 2024 (rank 911)—this gradual ascendancy reflects an Anglo-American onomastic renaissance. Stiorra’s precise consonantal structure and open-vowel cadence confer a dignified singularity, positioning it as a choice for guardians pursuing both cultural gravitas and phonological refinement.
