Selestino
Selestino Origin and Meaning
Selestino is a masculine name derived from Latin roots, serving as a variant of Celestino or Celestine, ultimately stemming from 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky.' This melodic name carries connotations of spiritual elevation and divine beauty across multiple cultures. Particularly common in Spanish and Italian language communities, Selestino reflects the naming patterns of Mediterranean and Latin American regions where slight spelling variations often develop. The name gained historical significance through several popes named Celestine, including Celestine V who was known for his humility. While less common than some classical names, Selestino offers a distinctively romantic sound with its flowing syllables and meaningful etymology, appealing to parents seeking a name with both cultural depth and euphonic qualities.
