About Celesto
Celesto, a Latin name, meaning "heavenly", originates from the Latin word "cælum" meaning "sky" or "heaven." The feminine form of the name is Celeste.
The name gained significance in a Christian context, where it was used to refer to the Virgin Mary as "Queen Mother in Heaven" or "Queen of Heaven." This title stemmed from the Catholic belief in Mary's assumption into heaven at the end of her life, where she is revered as a queen. Additionally, several historical figures, such as Saint Celeste Metz, the 2nd Bishop of Metz, and Pope Celestine V, have carried the name.
