Storai
Pashto, "star"
One of many names meaning star, Storai is a celestial choice of Pashto origin, used predominantly (though very quietly) in Afghanistan. Pronounced as stoh-RYE (stoh like the sound in stop), it feels reminiscent of Sarai and Story — two names that I like a lot.
Magical yet grounded, Storai is occasionally used in Italy too, though in this case, it would likely be a twist on storia meaning “history”.
