Meaning & Origins
Old French name meaning ‘star’ (Latin Stella), comparatively rarely used during the Middle Ages. It was revived in the 19th century, together with the Latinate form Estella, which was used by Dickens for the cold but beautiful ward of Miss Havisham in Great Expectations (1861).

English: one of the most common and widespread of English surnames, either a nickname for someone who was fond of dressing in this color (Old English grēne) or who had played the part of the ‘Green Man’ in the May Day celebrations, or a topographic name for someone who lived near a village green, Middle English grene (a transferred use of the color term). In North America this name has no doubt assimilated cognates from other European languages, notably German Grün (see Gruen).
