Selestyne Origin and Meaning
The name Selestyne is a girl's name.
Selestyne is an elaborate feminine variation of Celestine, which derives from the Latin 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky.' The distinctive spelling with 'S' instead of 'C' and the 'y' rather than 'i' gives the name an exotic, ethereal quality. This ornate version evokes celestial imagery and carries connotations of divinity and otherworldliness. Extremely rare in usage, Selestyne offers a dramatic alternative to more common names like Celeste or Celestina. The name has a vintage, almost Victorian sensibility while maintaining connections to its classical Latin roots. Women named Selestyne would likely rarely encounter others sharing their distinctive name spelling.
