Heavenly; of the heavens.
Celestino is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning “heavenly” or “of the heavens”. Celestino is used in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese; the French form is Célestin. The same spelling has distinct voices. In Latin American Spanish, Celestino is approximately seh-les-TEE-noh; Spanish speakers who distinguish c before e from s begin it with the th of “thin”. Italian begins with a ch sound, approximately cheh-leh-STEE-noh. The stress falls on ti in both Spanish and Italian. With its spacious rhythm and rounded -o ending, Celestino has an elegant, slightly ceremonial feel, while the bright stressed i gives the long name a clear centre.
Etymology: From Latin Caelestinus, a derivative of the personal name Caelestis. Its underlying adjective caelestis means “heavenly” and comes from caelum, “sky” or “heaven”.
