Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Latin.
Celestia is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, from the Latin caelestis, meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky,' related to caelum (heaven, sky). It is the feminine form of Celestine and carries the same cosmic, ethereal imagery.
My Little Pony fans will recognize Princess Celestia — the divine ruler who raises the sun each morning — whose name has introduced thousands of children to this Latin celestial name. Beyond the pop culture reference, Celestia is a genuine Victorian and early Christian name, worn by a 3rd-century saint and conveying the full beauty of the heavens in its etymology.
