Stela (pronounced STEL-uh) feels like a soft whisper of the Spanish word estrella, carrying its sparkling Latin roots straight from the ancient word for “star.” Picture a bright newcomer weaving through the night sky—each Stela a tiny supernova lighting up family gatherings with her warm laughter. Though she’s still a rare gem in the U.S., only just nudging into the top 1,000 at No. 937 in 2024, her popularity is shooting upward like a comet. In every syllable there’s a dash of cosmic magic and a hint of old-world romance, as if she might guide sailors home or inspire poets with a single glance. It’s a name that feels both timeless and fresh—steady as a guiding pillar of light and yet full of playful spark, ready to shine in any language or land.
