celine

Céline is a feminine given name of French origin. It is widely used in French-speaking countries and among people of French heritage. The name is commonly treated as the French form of Celina and is related to other names such as Celeste and Celina in various languages.

Prominent people named Céline include singer Céline Dion (born 1968), a Canadian artist renowned for her powerful vocal range and international hits such as My Heart Will Go On; filmmaker Céline Sciamma (born 1978), known for works including Portrait of a Lady on Fire; and actress Céline Buckens (born 1992), recognized for her role in War Horse. The name appears across a broad range of fields, reflecting its widespread use in Francophone communities.

In addition to its use as a personal name, Céline refers to a fashion house. The French luxury brand Céline was founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. It is known for luxury ready-to-wear and leather goods. In 2018 the brand underwent a branding change under LVMH, with the label styling itself as CELINE (no accent) and adopting new creative direction while retaining its place in the luxury market.

Pronunciation typically follows French norms, with Céline pronounced as say-LEEN; in English-language contexts it is often pronounced sih-LEEN or sell-EEN, depending on regional adaptation. Variants include the unaccented form Celine and related names in other languages.
