Asta

Meaning of Asta

Asta, pronounced AH-stah (/ˈɑːstə/), feels like sunshine on marigolds and laughter in an Indian courtyard. It’s a unisex gem that hails from Scandinavia with Old Norse roots, derived from Ástríðr meaning “divine beauty.” It’s playful and brave—ready to leap from swings, chase monsoon puddles and light up a room like a Diwali diya. In the US its appeal is rising fast, climbing from 11 babies (rank 907) in 2020 to 42 little Astas (rank 882) in 2024. Asta feels at home under northern lights as easily as amid colorful rangoli patterns. It promises a bright start and inspires stories from day one.
