Cecilia, Celeste, Celestina, Celie, Celja |
Celia is a given name for females of Latin origin, as well as a nickname for Cecilia, Celeste, or Celestina. The name is often derived from the Roman family name Caelius, thought to originate in the Latin caelum ("heaven"). Celia was popular in British pastoral literature in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, stemming from Shakespeare's use in the play As You Like It. Celia is also the name of the main character in the series Celia's Journey, by Melissa Gunther.
