Starr is an English name from Wiltshire, England, where the family held a seat. It comes from the Old English word starre which means "star" and referred to someone who was bright and vivacious. Alternately, it may have referred to someone with a streak of white hair. The earliest known ancestor--Leuenot Sterre--was recorded in 1086 in the Domesday Book. The family motto is Vive en espoir which means "Live in hope."

Other spellings include "Star," "Starre," "Sterr," and "Ster." Notable people with the surname include American actor Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, Superbad), American football player Bart Starr (Green Bay Packers), and English musician Ringo Starr (The Beatles). The first Starrs to come to America were Comfort and Mary Starr in Massachusetts in 1634.
