Her true Hebrew name is HADASSAH, any references to Ishtar is only to deceive you into calling upon pagan gods by name. When the Scriptures were changed from the original Hebrew language to latin then greek and later english, the true pronunciation of the patriarchs were forgotten.

Possibly means "star" in Persian. Alternatively it could be a Hebrew form of ISHTAR, the name of a Persian goddess. The Book of Esther in the Old Testament tells of Queen Esther, the Jewish wife of the king of Persia, who saves many Jews from persecution.

It's a Persian godess. Really. That's why she had a second name of "Myrtle". Some Rabbis interpret Ester to be connected to "hidden".
