The name Vashti appears as the name of the first queen of the Persian king

Achashverosh, in the apocryphal book of Esther. The name Vashti came from

an Elamite goddess. The king has been identified by some as Xerxes.

Some important contemporary women with that name include Vashti McKenzie,

the first female Bishop of the AME church, Vashti McCollum, who won a landmark

US Supreme Court case in 1948, and folk singer Vashti Bunyan.
