It has been used in Romance-language countries for centuries and entered English use in the nineteenth century. The name has a light, ethereal quality that keeps it appealing across generations. Famous Celestes include singer Celeste (Celeste Epiphany Waite, winner of the BRIT Award Rising Star in 2020) and Celeste from the beloved video game Celeste (2018), where it is also the name of the protagonist's mountain and journey of self-discovery. The game has a devoted following among younger audiences.
