Celine

Celine meaning

Celine is a Christian and international girl's name of Latin origin (via French).

Heavenly; from Latin caelum, 'heaven, sky'

Celine is the English spelling of French Céline, from Latin Caelina, the feminine of the Roman name Caelinus. Etymonline links it with caelum, 'heaven' or 'sky', which gives the usual meaning 'heavenly'; in France Céline also serves as a short form of Marceline. St Céline of Meaux was an early saint of the name, and the French singer Céline Dion made it known worldwide. In Kerala, Celine and Celin are used in Catholic families.
