Celise
Meaning of Celise
Celise is a feminine given name of Latin derivation, understood as a variant of Celeste—rooted in the word caelestis, meaning “heavenly.” Its occurrence in U.S. birth records has consistently occupied the low 900s range over the past four decades, reflecting a stable yet uncommon choice with 11 newborn bearers recorded in 2024. Phonetically, Celise maintains a straightforward two-syllable structure (/səˈliːz/) and is articulated identically in British and American English, a feature that enhances its cross-Atlantic adaptability. From an onomastic perspective, the name’s etymological precision and balanced syllable timing convey a sense of measured elegance. While it does not confer an official celestial commission, its morphological construction subtly alludes to an aspirational quality. Within Anglo-American naming conventions, Celise appeals to parents seeking a technically robust designation that marries classical heritage with contemporary restraint.
