The history of the first name Celimar

The name Celimar is of Spanish origin and dates back to the 16th century. It is derived from the Latin words "caelum" meaning "heaven" and "mare" meaning "sea." The name was likely first used in Spain or its territories during the Spanish Golden Age.

One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Celimar was found in a 16th century Spanish manuscript, where it was the name of a fictional character. The name may have been inspired by the vast oceans and celestial skies that were a source of wonder and exploration during this era of global seafaring and discovery.
