Re: What is the origin?
in reply to a message by Caeli
Meaning: Of Heaven (or, Belonging to Heaven).
The ancient Romans would have said: Kighly (to rhyme with Highly). In church Latin it'd probably be more like Cheely or Cheeligh.
Are you sure it's used as a name? Seems very odd! Perhaps it's intended as a male version of Celia, or a thoroughly kre8iv spelling of Kelly. I'd be interested to know where you foundit.
