estrell

Estrell is a proper noun used primarily as a surname, and occasionally as a given name, in Spanish-speaking communities and among populations influenced by Spanish naming traditions. The form is relatively rare compared with more common variants such as Estrella. The name is generally linked to the Spanish word estrella, meaning star, and is usually interpreted as an ornamental or nickname-based origin rather than a direct occupational or toponymic surname.

In onomastic practice, Estrell is often considered a variant spelling of Estrella, arising from regional pronunciation, orthographic variation, or transcription changes over time. As such, it shares a family with other star-related names in Latin-derived naming traditions. The surname is found across Spain and Latin America, and due to historical Spanish colonization, it may appear among Filipino families and other communities with Hispano-Portuguese influence.

There are no widely recognized historical or contemporary figures whose name is exclusively Estrell, and most references cite the more common Estrella or other forms. In genealogical resources, Estrell may appear sporadically, sometimes alongside Estrella or Estrelli in multilingual records.

Related names include Estrella (the more common form in Spanish) and, in some cases, Estrelli or Estrel, reflecting regional orthography. The usage and spelling of Estrell can vary by country and over time.
