The name Celina means “heavenly.” It comes from the English language tradition.

Celina is a variant of Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and also connects to the Latin 'caelum' meaning heaven or sky. The name carries a gentle luminosity and has been consistently used across many cultures. It has a timeless quality that bridges classic and contemporary naming styles.

Sources disagree on Celina's roots: Wiktionary repeatedly calls it a variant of Celine without completing the deeper derivation in the text retrieved, while Wikipedia offers several competing accounts, as a form of the Roman name Cecilia, as a feminine form of Marceline, and separately as a variation of Selene, the Greek moon goddess, alongside Selena and Selina. Because Wikipedia treats Cecilia and Marceline as the primary lines and the Selene connection only as an alternate reading, the heavenly gloss tied to Selene is not the settled derivation these sources give.
