Caelina is Gaelic, Latin in Origin.

Caelina is a rare feminine given name of Latin origin, built on caelum “sky, heaven” with the suffix -ina, and also interpretable as the feminine of the Roman cognomen Caelinus from the gens Caelius. Its core meaning is “heavenly” or “of the sky,” aligning it with the broader family of Latin “celestial” names.

Attested in late antique and medieval Latin as a scholarly or family form, the name later filtered into Romance languages, where simplified variants became common: French Céline/Célina, Spanish and Portuguese Celina, and international Celine. Related or learned forms include Caelia and the medieval spelling Coelina; Lina works as a familiar short form. English Selina is often grouped with these on sound, though it is usually traced to Greek Selene (“moon”). Masculine counterparts are Caelinus and Caelius. In modern use, Caelina remains uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a lyrical, classical choice with the “heavenly” meaning intact.
