Coelestine
Origin:German
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:"Of the sky, heavenly; Sky blue"
Coelestine is a German name for girls. Derived from the Latin word caelum, it can either refer to the color “sky blue,” or mean “heavenly” and “of the sky.” A cool alternative to Celestine, Coelestine is also connected to an epithet borne by the Roman goddess Juno, Caelestis. This aspect of Juno is said to derive from the ancient Carthaginian goddess Tanit, who was worshipped as the chief goddess of Carthage. For your little one sent from the heavens, Coelestine is most divine.
