Might mean "star" in Persian, or could be from the goddess Ishtar. Currently the 242nd most popular name in the US; peaked at #27 in 1896, probably because of President Cleveland's daughter. Worldwide, Esther is the 47th most popular name in Denmark, and is much lower everywhere else.
Famous Esthers: Queen Esther of the Old Testament; Esther Cleveland; Esther Williams (swimmer/actress).
Fictional Esthers: Grandma Esther Walton (of course!), Esther Smith, Meet Me In St. Louis
There are many others, but that's all I've heard of. Do you know any Esthers?

I'm pretty sure I have a great-aunt Esther, but I can't remember which side of the family she's on. It's not a very common name these days, is it?
No, it's definitely an older name now.

Oh wow! I used to watch that show all the time, The Waltons. Liked the character of Grandma Esther. I don't know any others (yeah, besides Esther in the Bible). :)
