Esie is in Origin.

Esie blends several roots. Most commonly it is a streamlined variant of Essie, the affectionate short form of names like Esther (Hebrew, probably from Old Persian for “star”) and Estelle/Estella (Latin stella, “star”). It can also echo Esmé/Esmée from Old French esmer, “to esteem,” giving the sense “beloved” or “esteemed.” In West Africa, especially among Akan (Fante) speakers in Ghana, Esi names a girl born on Sunday; Esie sometimes appears as an Anglicized or stylistic spelling within diaspora families.

Essie prospered in Victorian and early 20th‑century records in the US and UK, while Esie itself has remained rare, lending it a modern, minimalist profile today. Esie works as a stand‑alone or as a nickname for Esther, Estelle/Estella, Esmé/Esmée, or Esmeralda. Related forms include Essie, Esi, Essy, Esmé/Esmée, Esther, Estelle, and Estella. The name’s meanings cluster around “star,” “esteemed/beloved,” or, in the Akan tradition, “born on Sunday.”
