Comments for the name Vashti

Comments for VASHTI:

I was looking up the name a few nights ago, and I found that it was indeed of Persian origin. The site I was looking on, which escapes me now, had it listed as meaning beautiful or pure.

It sounds to me very sensual.

If it is indeed of Persian origin, it should be pronounced vash-TEE, not VASH-tee. It is a beautiful name.

It is derived from the Persian root/word vashta, meaning good or beautiful. It is unique in the sense that it is one of the few proper names in the Tanakh to begin with the letter "waw."

I have trouble saying this name, and I'm not sure why. It's nice though.

There's something about this name that I really like, though I can't put my finger on what it is. For some reason, when I hear it, I picture a red-haired seamstress. The seamstress part could be due to it's meaning, but I don't know about the red hair.
