Dextera
dex-te-ra
Origin:Latin
Other Origin(s):British
Meaning:Dyer; Right-handed; Fortunate; Skillful
If your nimble little one’s got dexterity for days, you may like how spot-on Dextera can be. Inspired by the masculine Dexter, Dextera sprouts from two separate origins—Old English and Latin. As a British last name, Dexter comes from the word degstre or deyster and was an occupational title for a dyer. Dextera’s Latin roots stem from dexter, which showers your little one with compliments like “fortunate” and “skillful.” It also means “right-handed,” a trait controlled by the left side of the brain. No matter which origin calls to you, Dextera is a breath of fresh air drawn out with a lyrical “a” ending.
