Cela is of Latin origin and means "heaven". It is primarily used as a female given name, though it can also be used for males. The name gained some popularity during the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare. Cela is often associated with simplicity, elegance, and uniqueness due to its limited usage. In literature, Cela is notably the pen name of Spanish writer Camilo José Cela.
"Cela is not a common name, with fewer than 10 babies named Cela born annually most years since 1931. The highest number of Cela births recorded was 9 times, in 2000 and 2002."
