Her name at the time of her birth was "Esther Maria Petersson ". Her birth record is listed in the Hornaryd parish record, 1886-1895 on page 265. Previously, she might have had the patronymic surname "Carlsdotter". The naming practice was dropped and the patronymic stabilized into a surname. The passenger manifest of the White Star Line ship Majestic arriving in New York on September 26, 1894 lists her name as "Ester Peterson". The surname was changed to Newquist shortly after arriving in the United States.
