About

Why this artist matters now

Hester is both a female given name and a surname. As a given name Hester is a variant of Esther. In Ireland, particularly County Mayo, the surname Hester is found as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó hOistir descendant of Oistir, who was likely an early 13th century immigrant from Tuscany.
