Selestane is Latin in Origin.

Selestane is a contemporary elaboration of the Celest- family of names, ultimately from Latin caelestis, “heavenly; of the sky.” The initial S spelling mirrors French and Spanish forms where Celest- alternates with Selest-, and the -ane ending aligns with Romance name patterns (as in Ariane or Diane). Some parents also read it as a subtle blend with Greek Selene, the moon goddess, reinforcing its luminous, celestial meaning.

As a given name, Selestane is very rare and chiefly 21st-century, appearing sporadically in English-speaking and multicultural contexts. While the specific form lacks historical use, its root is long-standing - think of saints and popes named Celestine - giving it a classical halo. Close variants and cognates include Celeste, Célestine/Celestine, Celestina, Selestine, Selestina, Celestin (m.), and Celestino (m.). Possible short forms are Sela, Essie, Lesta, and Tani, all keeping the airy, “heavenly” resonance.
