Célia

Célia is a Brazilian girl’s name with dual origins in Latin. Like a ray of light between the clouds, Célia brightens every space with its celestial meaning of “heavenly” from the word caelestis. Célia is also a short form of Cecilia, meaning “blind,” and strongly associated with Saint Cecilia. The patron saint of blind people and music, Cecilia also lends the beautiful endearment “musical” to the title. Simple yet replete with elegance, Célia is an ideal choice for parents wishing to welcome baby to their faith with a classically feminine name.
