History & Origin

Seleen is a modern phonetic respelling. Behind the sound stand Celine — French, from Latin Caelina, 'heavenly' — and Selene, the Greek name of the moon. Seleen itself has no documented etymology, and which route a family means is not recorded, so we call the routes uncertain (said 'suh-LEEN').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, smooth, and modern in spelling.

Did you know? Two beautiful names stand behind this sound: Celine, from a Latin word for 'heavenly', and Selene, the Greek moon. Seleen is a modern spelling that could be either, which we note honestly.
