Yes, Estel was one of Aragorn's other names, and it means "hope". The name and its meaning are mentioned in RotK Appendix A Part I Section v, starting on page 420.

Ah-hah! Not only the answers but references too!

Now I understand Arwen's repeated statements about hope, especially in Two Towers (in the movie, I mean). Nice double-meaning there...

Well, I'm off to rehearsals and stuff, catch ya'll later. Hopefully after the storm!
