Este

/ES · teh/


“Origin uncertain”

Este is a rare feminine given name in Finland and Estonia; its origin and meaning as a personal name are not established. The same word is separately the name of a town in Italy's Veneto region, which became a Roman colony under the name Ateste in the late 3rd century BC, and of the House of Este, a European dynasty that took its name from the town after Albert Azzo II built a castle there and later moved the family's capital to Ferrara in 1240. Nothing ties the given name to these unrelated namesakes.
