No, she is not from the same lineage as Jesus.
According to Rabbinic literature Esther was an orphan, her father died before her birth and her mother died when Esther was born. She was raised in her cousin Mordiecai's house.
There is a building known as the tomb of 'Esther and Mordechai' in Hamadan Iran so maybe Esther did exist.

∙ 8y agoWe do not really know the ancestry of Jesus, apart from the two quite contradictory genealogies of Joseph, in Matthew and Luke. As was normal in ancient times, they only contain the names of purported male ancestors, but Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical.
There is no reason to believe that Queen Esther was an ancestor of Jesus. If in fact Esther was a historical person, then she lived in Persia and her children were members of the Persian royal family, and not considered Jews. However, the Book of Esther was written as a novel in the second century BCE, and there never really was a Queen Esther.

How far back does each gospel trace Jesus' ancestry?
Matthew's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Jacob, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Jechonias, to David and finally Abraham.Luke's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Heli, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Neri, to David and finally Adam.Matthew says that there were 28 generations from David to Jesus, and 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. Luke says that there were 42 generations from David to Jesus, and 77 generations from Adam to Jesus. Both genealogies contain significant discrepancies against the Old Testament genealogies and, needless to say, neither account is likely to be historically accurate.
