I have searched through nearly 20 website and gone through every encyclopedia, dictionary, and naming book i could find. In absolutley NONE of these does it say what on earth the name Estella means. Is it "devil's child" or "false hope"? who knows! I sure don't. I'm 14 so I can't really do anything about it, but someone needs to find out what this name means! Please and thank you.
can we have a picture of her, please?. THX. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.8.240 ( talk) 23:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Estella (Great Expectations) – Per
WP:COMMONNAME (as the article itself indicates), Estella is not known by her surname. In the book itself her surname is clarified once (out of the character's presence) on Pip's request, but she never refers to herself or is directly referred to as "Estella Havisham". By the book's end it is not known what surname she uses (she has been married and widowed by this point). Only using her first name in the article title is more accurate to both the book and the common name policy.

In the section "Estella and Pip's pre-adult life," someone wrote that they met in "jewish day school". I haven't read Great Expectations in years, but I'm pretty sure this isn't true, so someone added this as a joke. Can someone confirm this? 75.56.214.228 ( talk) 07:16, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
