Celestinus is in Origin.
From Latin Caelestinus, built on caelestis “heavenly, celestial,” itself from caelum “sky, heaven.” In Latin the -inus suffix created adjectival and personal forms, so Celestinus means “of the heavens” or “belonging to the celestial realm.” Classical spelling favored Caelestinus; medieval and later church Latin often simplified to Celestinus.
Carried chiefly in ecclesiastical circles, the name was borne by five popes known in English as Celestine (Latin Caelestinus I–V), as well as several saints, giving it durable prestige in medieval Europe. Though rare as a modern given name, it survives in Romance and Central European traditions. Notable variants include Celestine (English/French), Célestin (French), Celestino (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Coelestin/Cölestin (German), Celestin (Romanian/Slovene), Celestyn (Polish), Celestýn (Czech), Celestín (Slovak), Celestí (Catalan), Celestijn (Dutch), and Celesztin (Hungarian); feminine forms Celestina and Célestine.
