Meaning & Story

Celeste is a French and Latin feminine name meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky,' from the Latin 'caelestis.' It evokes the vast blue of the sky and a lightness that belongs to the clouds.

Celeste is a name that makes you look up. It belongs to the vast, peaceful blue of the sky — light, expansive, and impossibly beautiful. It suits a graceful female pet with pale coloring or striking blue or grey eyes, but really any animal who brings that particular quality of open, unhurried serenity into your life. Celeste is the pet who teaches you to breathe.
