What Does the Name Celestte Mean?
Celestte is a rare spelling of Celeste, whose established meaning is "heavenly." The source is the Latin adjective caelestis, "belonging to the sky, heavenly," formed from caelum (also written coelum), "sky, heaven," plus the adjectival ending -estis. The literal sense is "of the sky" or "of heaven"; the familiar English meaning, "heavenly," is the customary rendering of that adjective. The French form Céleste came into English as Celeste, and the doubled final t in Celestte is a respelling of the same name rather than a separate derivation.
Celestte Name History & Origins
The Latin adjective caelestis was widely used in Christian Latin, and its derivative Caelestinus became a papal name: Celestine I was bishop of Rome in the fifth century, and later popes repeated the name, keeping the root caelest- familiar across Western Europe. The shorter French form Céleste also descends from caelestis and is used in French for both men and women. In Italy and Spain the corresponding Celeste is likewise used, with Italian usage including men as well as women, while in English the name has been chiefly feminine.
English also borrowed the same Latin root indirectly in the word celestial, which entered the language by way of Old French. Celestte belongs to this family as a variant spelling of the English feminine form; the extra t does not point to a different origin or a different meaning.
