Celeste is derived from the Latin word 'caelestis', meaning heavenly or celestial. This feminine given name has been used since the Middle Ages, often associated with the Catholic Church due to its saint namesakes, such as Saint Celeste Guérin and Blessed Celeste Crostarosa. The name gained popularity in France during the 19th century but has since become more widespread internationally.
