Esti

Esti is a Basque feminine name derived from the word for honey, reflecting the natural world's influence on Basque naming traditions. It functions as an independent name as well as a short form of Estíbaliz, a longer Basque name associated with a celebrated medieval image of the Virgin Mary venerated at the Sanctuary of Estíbaliz in the Álava region of Spain. The name carries warm, affectionate connotations through its sweet meaning and remains in steady use among Basque speakers today.
