Origin and Meaning

English fantasy name invented by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) for his intimate friend Esther Vanhomrigh. It seems to have been derivated from the first syllable of her Dutch surname and the name ending -essa, possibly influenced by the first syllable of her given name. [1] [2] [3]
