Celena

Meaning of Celena

Celena is a name that dances on the tongue like starlight rippling across a midnight lake. Drawn from the ancient Greek Selene, goddess of the moon, and echoing the Latin caelum, meaning “heaven,” it carries an otherworldly glow. In Italy it’s cheh-LEH-nah, like a whispered secret; in Spanish, seh-LEH-nah, warm and sunlit; in English, suh-LEE-nuh, a gentle melody all its own. It conjures moonlit midsummer nights, poetic daydreams sketched in the margins, and a playful promise that wherever Celena goes, she’ll leave behind a trail of lunar magic. Parents might jokingly keep a telescope by the crib to catch all those drifting moonbeams—and with a name this luminous, why would they need anything less?
