Her name, and her Senshi name (Sailor Vesta), is derived from one of the four major asteroids in the Asteroid Belt, keeping to the theme of our Solar System. The name Vesta can have its roots in multiple words, such as the Gaelic Celtic visc (fire) or the greek analogous goddess Hestia (stove). But all these words and meanings link the name to the Roman goddess of hearth, home and family.
