Meaning and background
The story behind Celeste
Celeste belongs to a broad family of names descending from Latin caelum, sky. It is used in several languages, and its closest named ancestor is Caelestis, meaning of the sky or heavenly. Those terms explain the historical derivation more precisely than treating the name as a promise of angelic behaviour. In English it usually ends with a single stressed syllable, rather than an Italian final vowel.
