Seleste Origin and Meaning

The name Seleste is a girl's name.

Seleste is an elegant feminine name, representing an alternative spelling of Celeste. Derived from the Latin word 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky,' it carries connotations of divinity and ethereal beauty. The 'S' spelling gives the classic name a fresh, slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining its melodious pronunciation. This variation might appeal to parents who appreciate the name's celestial meaning and romantic sound but desire something slightly less common than the traditional spelling. Seleste evokes images of stars, sky, and cosmic wonder, aligning it with other celestial-themed names that have gained popularity. Though less frequently used than Celeste, Seleste shares its sophisticated European charm and timeless elegance.
