Astrela

"Astraea" is a name with deep roots in ancient Greek mythology and astronomy. Its meaning is intrinsically linked to stars and light. The word originates from the combination of two Greek roots: "astron" (star) and "elaos" (bliss, comfort). Thus, the name can be translated as "Star of Bliss" or "Comforting Star." This emphasizes its associations with peace, light, hope, and comfort. In mythology, Astraea is one of the stars in the Constellation of Orion (or Orion's Belt), also known as Sirius. According to legends, this was the location of the nine stars, protected by a mythological creature named Canopids. Astraea herself is the daughter of Atlas and Eurynome, and her mission is to protect and comfort people, especially during storms and maritime disasters. The myth associated with her is linked to wisdom and compassion, rather than strength or the inept hunter (that mythological figure is more closely tied to Orion).
