About Celestial
A pretty and almost unique word name to add to the galaxy of astral appellations. More distinctive than the better-known Celeste, it was given fewer than ten baby girls in the US last year. While rare in English-speaking countries, Celestial is a Top 100 name for baby girls in France.
Celestial is also the title of several band albums, and is heard in the video game and comics worlds. For those wanting a literary tie, Celestial is a main character in Tayari Jones's popular novel, An American Marriage, her full name being Celestial Gloriana, after her mother, Gloria Celeste.
Pronounced suh-LES-chul.
As of October 2026, Celestial ranked #8466 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1932 in 1904.
