To be a little bit more specific about its meaning: the name is derived from Greek 'histiē' (ἱστίη) meaning "hearth". This is also spelled 'histia' (ἱστία) sometimes.
It seems the original Greek form of Hestia was Histia; Hestia is said to be an Ionic Greek form. Although there are sources who state the opposite and say that Hestia is the original Greek form while Histia is the Ionic Greek form.

This is such a pretty name! If I grow up and decide to have children, I might name her Hestia. Either that or it'll be her middle name. Hestia also sounds like wysteria, in a way.
