Celene
Meaning of Celene
Celene, a feminine appellation of Greek origin derived from the mythological Selene—the personification of the moon—carries connotations of lunar radiance and serene illumination. Employed within Anglo-American naming conventions and uniformly pronounced in both British and American English as /səˈliːn/ (seh-LEEN), Celene has exhibited a modest yet enduring presence in the United States, with 13 recorded births in 2024 corresponding to a rank of 937, a trajectory that reflects periodic fluctuations since its early twentieth-century introduction, including a mid-1990s peak at rank 772 in 1994. The variant spelling, utilizing the letter C in lieu of the original Greek-derived S, exemplifies Anglophone onomastic adaptation of classical roots to familiar orthographic patterns. Though it has never achieved prominence within the upper tiers of name rankings, Celene’s sustained, if infrequent, usage underscores its appeal to parents seeking a name that harmonizes mythological resonance with distinctive individuality.
