Caelena is in Origin.

Caelena is a modern feminine given name with Latin and Hellenic undertones. Likely coined in contemporary use, it draws on Latin caelum (“sky, heaven”) via feminine formations such as Caelia and Caelina; it also echoes Helena/Elena (Greek Helene “torch, light”) and Selena (Greek Selene “moon”). Accordingly, Caelena is often interpreted as “heavenly” or “celestial,” with secondary associations of “bright” or “moonlit.”

Attested use is scarce before the 21st century, and the name remains rare but familiar in English-speaking countries. Interest has been boosted by fantasy aesthetics, including the related spelling Celaena in Sarah J. Maas’s series. Variants and relatives include Caelina, Caelia, Celaena, Celena, Selena, Selina, Helena, Elena, and Alena; nicknames include Cae and Lena. Distinct from the Irish Caelan/Caolán (“slender”).
