Selestin is a rare modern spelling of the long-established masculine name Celestin, ultimately from Latin Caelestinus (from caelestis/caelum, “heavenly; of the sky”). It spread through Christian naming traditions; several popes bore the form Celestine (notably Celestine I in the 5th century and the hermit-pope Celestine V), anchoring the name in medieval Europe and inspiring the Celestine monastic order. The celestial meaning keeps the name associated with spirituality, uplift, and transcendence.

Variants across languages include French Célestin (feminine Célestine), English Celestine, Italian and Spanish Celestino, Portuguese Celestino, Polish Celestyn, Slovak Celestín, and Romanian Celestin; Latin forms are Caelestinus/Caelestina. Selestin functions as a simplified or phonetic respelling where soft c or diacritics are avoided and as an internationally friendly form. Diminutives and short forms include Sel, Cel, and Tino; feminine counterparts are Celestine and Celestina.
