Cielo:
In the US where Luna — Spanish for “moon” — is now a Top 10 name, a new world of Spanish nature names has been unlocked. Beyond the familiar classics like Rosa, Esmeralda, and Marisol are modern picks like Cielo — pronounced “see-EL-oh” and Spanish for “sky”.
Cielo was among the fastest-rising girl names of 2022 and was also among the newest additions to the US Top 1000. Given to 261 baby girls (and 25 baby boys), the spunky Cielo is fresh and airy.
Cielo is also associated with the Virgin Mary, historically used as a name in honor of María del Cielo, a title meaning "Mary of the Sky."
The attention that Cielo has gotten as a baby name as of late was heightened by the birth of Luisana Lopilato and Michael Bublé’s daughter Cielo Yoli Rose in 2022.
