'''{{lang|ang|Ēostre}}''' ({{Lang-gem-x-proto|Austrō(n)}}) is a [[List of Germanic deities|West Germanic]] spring goddess. The name is reflected in ({{IPA-ang|ˈæːɑstre|}}; [[Northumbrian Old English|Northumbrian dialect]]: ''{{lang|ang|Ēastro}}'', [[Mercian dialect|Mercian]] and [[West Saxon dialect (Old English)|West Saxon]] dialects: ''{{lang|ang|Ēostre}}'' {{IPA-ang|ˈeːostre|}}), {{lang-goh|*Ôstara}}, and {{Lang-osx|*Āsteron}}.{{Sfn|Simek|1996|p=74}}{{sfn|Kroonen|2013|p=43}} By way of the [[Germanic calendar|Germanic month]] bearing her name (Northumbrian: ''{{lang|ang|Ēosturmōnaþ}}'', West Saxon: ''{{lang|ang|Ēastermōnaþ}}''; {{lang-goh|Ôstarmânoth|links=no}}), she is the namesake of the festival of [[Easter]] in some languages. The Old English deity Ēostre is attested solely by [[Bede]] in his 8th-century work ''[[The Reckoning of Time]]'', where Bede states that during ''{{lang|ang|Ēosturmōnaþ}}'' (the equivalent of April), [[Anglo-Saxon paganism|pagan Anglo-Saxons]] had held feasts in {{lang|ang|Ēostre|italic=no}}'s honour, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian [[Easter#Theological significance|Paschal month]], a celebration of the [[resurrection of Jesus]].
By way of [[linguistic reconstruction]], the matter of a goddess called {{lang|gem-x-proto|Austrō(n)}} in the [[Proto-Germanic language]] has been examined in detail since the foundation of [[Germanic philology]] in the 19th century by scholar [[Jacob Grimm]] and others. As the [[Germanic languages]] descend from [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] (PIE), [[historical linguistics|historical linguists]] have traced the name to a Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn *''{{PIE|[[Hausos|H₂ewsṓs]]}}'', from which may descend the Common Germanic divinity at the origin of the Old English {{lang|ang|Ēostre|italic=no}} and the Old High German {{lang|goh|Ôstara|italic=no}}. Additionally, scholars have linked the goddess's name to a variety of Germanic personal names, a series of location names ([[toponymy|toponyms]]) in England, and, discovered in 1958, over 150 inscriptions from the 2nd century CE referring to the ''{{lang|la|[[matres and Matronae|matronae]] Austriahenae}}''.
