The name was popularized by Aitana Alberti's goddaughter and namesake, actress Aitana Sanchez-Gijan.

Celeste is a softly pretty and somewhat quaint name with heavenly overtones, which kids might associate with Queen Celeste of Babar's elephant kingdom. She's a light and lovely choice that's finally getting noticed.

IrishMeaning:
"little black-haired one"Description:
Extremely popular in Ireland, Ciaran is also well used in England and is beginning to be adopted by parents in the U.S., though usually via the more American-friendly Kieran spelling.
