Asterid

Variation of Astrid, Scandinavian, Greek, literary invented name

"divinely beautiful; star"

Asterid Origin and Meaning

The name Asterid is a girl's name meaning "divinely beautiful; star".

If we tie it to Aster, it's undeniably a nature name. "Aster" comes from the Greek word astēr, meaning "star," and it's the name of a daisy-like flower with star-shaped blooms. On the flip side, it could be a variation of Astrid, a Scandinavian name with Old Norse roots: Ástríðr, meaning "divinely beautiful".

In the Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins, Asterid is revealed to be the name of Katniss Everdeen's mother.
