What is the meaning of the name Celina ?

The baby name Celina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced suh-LEE-nuh (səˈliːnə),seh-LEE-nah (seˈlina).

Celina is Latin, Polish, Spanish in Origin.

Celina is a pan-European feminine name most commonly viewed as a form of French Céline, ultimately from Latin Caelina (related to Caelius and caelum, “heaven, sky”), giving the meaning “heavenly” or “of the sky.” In Romance contexts it can also function as a Latinate elaboration or diminutive of Celia. Though often confused with Selena/Selina (from Greek Selene, “moon”), Celina’s classical core is Latin rather than Greek.

The name appears in medieval French hagiography via several saints named Céline and spread widely through French influence. It took firm root in Poland in the 19th century - borne by Celina Szymanowska, wife of poet Adam Mickiewicz - and is well established in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries. English usage has been steady but modest. Variants and related forms include Céline/Celine, Celene, Celena, Selina (often treated as a near-equivalent), and Celia; diminutives include Celinka and Lina. Meaning: “heavenly.”
