    Celestine

    Pronounced SEL-es-teen

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Celestine does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Heavenly; Of the sky", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Celestine.
    Meaning
    "Heavenly; Of the sky"
    Origin
    Latin

    Celestine is heavenly — the mind set on things above. 'Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.' Celestine lifts the gaze from temporal to eternal, from earthly to heavenly.

    Spiritual meaning

    Celestine sets affection above — the heavenly conversation, the eternal gaze, the citizen whose true country is the sky.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
