Celine
Céline (also Celine ) is in the Francophonie frequently used first name. The name is derived from the Greek word Σελήνη - Selene (partly also Σελάνα - Selana) "moon" or the moon goddess of Greek mythology. The Greek letter Eta (ήτα) is pronounced in Late Greek [i]. This explains the sound form and spelling of words of late Greek origin in other languages, including French.
