Origin and meaning of Celeste
Celeste comes from the Latin caelestis, 'heavenly, of the sky,' from caelum, 'sky': a name evoking the serenity and light of the heavens. Used both as a name and as a shade of soft sky-blue, it is found in Italy, France and the Spanish- and English-speaking worlds. With a sweet, airy sound, it conveys peace and delicacy. Unisex in some traditions but mainly feminine in Italy, it remains a poetic, luminous choice of great grace.
