Starr Family History
Starr Name Meaning
English: nickname from Middle English sterre,
starre ‘star’. The word was also used in a transferred sense of
a patch of white hair on the forehead of a horse, and so perhaps the
name denoted someone with a streak of white hair. It is possibly also
a habitational name, for someone who lived at a house distinguished by
the sign of a star.Jewish (Ashkenazic): variant of
Star 1 and 3.
