This name reminds me of Zelinda, the name of "a Quadroon Slave", the main character in an opera called "The Slave" performed at Sydney's Theatre Royal on 20 October 1835 - Irish-born actress and singer Marian Maria Chester played her.

Problem with the name: if the speaker thinks it's of Spanish origin, like whoever does caller ID, the name will be pronounced "cheleenda." Which can be irritating if, like me, "Celinda" is a family name which goes back three generations and no one in the family was Spanish. My name rhymes with "Linda" (not "Leenda") and "Melinda" and "Belinda."

Selene is the name you find on Wikipedia for the English rendition of the Greek name for the goddess of the moon and the hunt (Σελήνη). However, there are variants of the name (including Selena) and Celinda is one of them. I care a lot about this, because it's my given name. I was named after a great-grandmother who was born in Towanda, PA in 1850. She had an aunt named Celinda and there were other Celindas in Towanda around that time. I never met another person with that name, although I've read about several--like Celinda Lake, the pollster.

I don't like anything with Linda, be it Belinda, Melinda, or Celinda. This already sounds like the name of a middle-aged woman.

I think Celinda is a new and refreshingly different name for the overused Selena. I also like how it is similar to another of my favourite names, Celeste.

"Celinda" is a variation of the name "Selena," the goddess of the moon. The name occurs in 17th century English literature. For example, Lord Herbert of Cherbury (1583-1648) wrote a poem called "An Ode upon a Question moved, Whether Love should continue forever?" The couple discussing this question
are named Melander and Celinda.

Celinda is certainly not a variation of Selena. It's not even a variation of Selene, which is the goddesses correct name.
