Celia is a traditional given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman clan name Caelius, which is ultimately connected to the Latin word caelum, meaning 'heaven' or 'sky'. Popularized in English literature by William Shakespeare, who used the name for the character in his pastoral comedy As You Like It (1599), it has since remained a classic literary and given name in the English-speaking world.
