Hestia (Ἑστία) is the Greek goddess of the hearth, home, and family. The name comes from the Greek word for "hearth" — the sacred fire at the center of every Greek home.
Hestia is rare as a girl's name but rising. She was one of the original twelve Olympians, though she gave up her seat to Dionysus to preserve peace among the gods.
Hestia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hestia reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
