BasqueMeaning:
"the beginning"Description:

- Easter
Origin:
English, from GermanDescription:
Easter has been used as a name for several hundred years, as part of the day-naming tradition; now, this rarely heard holiday celebration name would make a novel choice for a springtime baby.

- Theobald
Origin:
GermanMeaning:

French, EnglishMeaning:
