Céline, sometimes spelled Celine, is a French female first name version of Latin origin, coming from Caelīna, the feminine form of the Roman cognomen Caelīnus, meaning "heavenly".
[1] Its equivalent in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese is Celina.
Céline was frequently chosen as a first name in honour of two Gallo-Roman saints closely associated with the beginnings of the French nation: Saint Céline of Laon, mother of St Rémy, and Saint Céline of Meaux, a companion of St Geneviève; the feast day for both is 21 October.
Céline as a single name may refer to the French writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline, author of Journey to the End of the Night.
