    Esther is very much not a Christian name, but y’all already steal everything from Jews, so why not another biblical name. <3

    My first name is Esther, I actually have a double name: Esther-Maryam. I am a Muslim. My father is a Muslim, my mother is Christian. Esther is a very old Persian name. It is definitely not a Christian name. You can also look at it as an old Jewish name. I live in Germany and people here sometimes honestly think, my name is a straight German name! Well, like Zarah, right ..some websites tell you that Esther is an Persian/ Arabic name- this is wrong indeed. But it’s not Christian, and it comes from Persia, referring to the old name “Ishtar” or “star” “Queen of light bringers”. I wonder if I should change it into a fully clear Arabic name that doesn’t make people wonder anymore. Star in Arabic would mean something like ” Nayima”, doesn’t it??

    I know Muslims, Christians and Jews named Esther. People who sometimes will not agree on anything will at least agree that Esther is a beautiful name.
    Enjoy life Esthers.
