The name Celestia, pronounced seh-LES-tee-uh (/səˈlɛstiə/), is a beautiful and ethereal choice for a baby girl. Originating from the Latin word "caelestis," meaning "heavenly" or "of the sky," Celestia evokes images of celestial bodies and the serene expanse of the heavens. This name carries a sense of grace and otherworldliness, making it an appealing option for parents looking for something unique yet timeless. A close variation of this name is Celeste, which shares its heavenly connotations. Although not widely popular in recent years, with occurrences ranging between 5 to 33 newborns annually in the United States since 1880, Celestia remains a rare gem with historical roots that give it enduring charm and elegance.
