Estha

The name of the hero in Arundhati Roy's acclaimed 1997 novel The God of Small Things, who is rendered mute by childhood trauma. His twin sister, with whom he is very close, is named Rahel. Probably too close to Esther to be very practicable for a boy in the U.S..

Estha is also given to girls.

Pronounced ES-thuh.

As of October 2026, Estha ranked #3682 for girls in US births in 1941 SSA, peaked at #2038 for girls in 1905.
