Meaning and history
Astoria is a modern place-derived feminine name. Places bearing the name, including Astoria in Oregon and the New York City neighbourhood, were named for members of the wealthy Astor family. The surname Astor is generally traced to an Occitan word for “goshawk,” though details of its family history vary. As a given name, Astoria therefore carries geographic and surname associations rather than an ancient feminine meaning. Reliable prominent real-life bearers using Astoria as a first name are limited.
