Meaning:*
This name derives from the Proto-Germanic “*austrōn,” meaning “down.” Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: “Ēastre,” Old High German: “*Ôstara”) is a Germanic divinity. Pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Eostre’s honor, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. In Baltic Mythology, Austra is the personification (goddess) of the dawn and light who acts as a messenger of the sun. Her name is likely derived from the Roman goddess of the morning, Aurora.
