Celina

Meaning of Celina

Celina is a glimmering, globe-trotting gem of a name—rooted in Latin’s “caelum” for “heavenly” and kissed by the Greek “selene,” the moon goddess herself. That double heritage gives Celina a sky-high résumé: she’s as radiant as the full moon and as uplifting as a patch of blue after rain. Spoken as suh-LEE-nuh in English, seh-LEE-nah in Spanish, or cheh-LEE-nah in Italian, the name slips easily across borders, gathering charm as it goes. In the United States, Celina has danced in and out of the Top 700 for more than a century, never too common, never quite forgotten—perfect for parents who want recognition without repetition. Pop culture lends her a dash of sparkle (think Brazilian singer Celina or the friendly Texas town that wears her proudly), but she still feels like a best-kept secret. All told, Celina offers a warm, celestial glow with just enough worldly sophistication—a lovely choice for a little star who’s bound to leave her own luminous trail.
