Meaning & Origin of Asta
Origin: Scandinavian (possibly a short form of Astrid).
A common claim: Asta is widely said to mean 'love' or 'divine strength' in Old Norse. Actually: That specific gloss doesn't match any confirmed root; if Asta is short for Astrid, that name's own roots point more toward 'divinely beautiful' than 'love, divine strength.'
