Celeste

Meaning

Origin and History

  • · From Latin caelestis, "heavenly, of the sky". It is used both as a given name and as a colour adjective (sky blue, "celeste" in Spanish).
  • · It is one of the few names in the catalogue that works, without changing form, as both a proper noun and a common adjective.

Traits and personality

Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials C, L and U map to the number 3: a creative, expressive personality — sociable, with a natural talent for communication. These are traditional readings, not a rule: everyone ends up becoming who they choose to be, whatever name they carry.
