National Stella Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

Today is National Stella Day, annually observed on July 10. The purpose of this day is to honour all Stellas, young and old, renowned and not.

Stella is a feminine given name that means’star’ in Latin; we’d venture to say it’s quite elegant. Since 1900, the first year for which data is available from the Social Security Administration, it has been ranked among the Top 1000 names for baby females. It remained in the top 100 most prevalent baby girl names for approximately twenty-five years.

The background of National Stella Day

After being included in a sonnet by Philip Sidney, one of the most prominent literary figures of the Elizabethan era, the name Stella became popular. His sonnet was titled “Astrophel and Stella” and tells the tale of a man and a woman’s love affair.

The name had fallen off the list of the 1,000 most popular names by 1986, but it reappeared at number 909 in 1998. Over the subsequent decade, the name made a significant revival, climbing nearly 800 positions. At its zenith in 2018, it ranked 32nd.

Stella McCartney’s success can be credited with the recent rise in prominence of the name. This English fashion designer is also the daughter of the well-known performer and songwriter Sir Paul McCartney. Stella McCartney controls both a successful fashion house bearing her name and a perfume brand simply named Stella.

There are numerous variations of the name, including the Spanish Estella and Estrella, the Latin Estelle and Stela, and the English Starla.
