Selestyna is a Slavic-influenced feminine form of Celestina, ultimately from Latin caelestis, “heavenly, of the sky,” via the late Roman name Caelestinus.

The name conveys luminous, ethereal imagery tied to the heavens and the divine.

Usage traces to early Christian adoption of Celestine/Celestina, promoted by several popes named Celestine, which helped spread the family of names throughout Catholic Europe. International variants include Celestyna (Polish standard), Celestina (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Célestine (French), Celestine (English), and related forms Celeste and Celestia; masculine counterparts are Celestyn (Polish), Celestino (Italian/Spanish), and Célestin (French). Nicknames and diminutives for Selestyna include Sela, Selka, Cela/Celka, Tina, and Tynka. Though less common than Celestyna, Selestyna offers a distinctive, historically grounded twist with an unmistakably celestial meaning.
