Stella is the Latin and Italian word for star.
Stella is the female version of the male Greek name Stelios which probably originates from the Greek "stylos", or "styli", or "style".The girl's name Stella \s-tella, st(el)-la\ is pronounced STEL-ah. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "star". Mostly literary use until the 19th century, when the name became popular. Linked in most minds to the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire", where Marlon Brando bellowed "Stella!"
