The name SISTER may have English origins.

Derived from the English noun sister meaning "sister". Like in most countries with a culture and language that is ultimately Germanic in origin, this name first started out as an affectionate nickname for a female sibling (who was often older in age, such as the first-born daughter and therefore eldest sister) and over time (due to frequent usage) transformed into an actual given name.
