The original meaning of Easter

Question

According to the meaning of the original word easter, it has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

Nah it's a pagan holiday to celebrate the goddess Ishtar, whose name is also pronounced just like "Easter". Pay no mind to that though, it's all about commercialism and easter bunnies and candy. Nobody's paying homage to Ishtar these days. Not even Hallmark.

Answer 2

I reckon not
