arceli is Spanish in Origin.
Arceli is a streamlined Spanish feminine name derived from Araceli/Aracely, which in turn comes from the Latin phrase Ara Coeli, meaning “altar of heaven.” The name is tied to Catholic devotion: Santa Maria in Aracoeli in Rome and Spain’s Virgen de Araceli (Nuestra Señora de Araceli) underlie its sacred associations. Through Iberian influence it spread across Latin America and the Philippines, where the shorter Arceli spelling appears in records alongside the longer forms.
Usage as a given name is documented from the early modern period and remains familiar in Spanish-speaking communities, with occasional appearance in the United States via Hispanic families. Variant forms include Araceli, Aracely, Aracelis, Aracelia, and Arcelia; nicknames range from Ara and Celi/Cheli to Celita. Parents favor Arceli for its celestial meaning, gentle rhythm, and a contemporary look that still preserves traditional roots.
