Maristela

Maristela is a delightful girl’s name of Portuguese and Spanish origins. Meaning “star of the sea,” Maristela derives from Stella Maris, a Latin title given to the Virgin Mary. Symbolizing Mary as a guiding star for those needing direction in life, the image of the star of the sea is one of great hope and promise. Maristela could also be a combination of Maria and Estella, two Spanish monikers that gain their definitions from the Hebrew Miryam and the French Estelle. With "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," "wished-for child," "beloved," and "star" as name meanings, your Maristela will know that the brightest lights shine even during times of uncertainty.
