Araceli is a beautiful and meaningful name of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin words 'ara' meaning 'altar' and 'coeli' meaning 'sky.' The name translates to "altar of heaven" or "altar of the sky," symbolizing a connection to the divine. Historically, the name was associated with the Roman Catholic epithet of the Virgin Mary as the patron of Lucena, Andalusia. Over time, the name has evolved from being relatively obscure to gaining popularity in the United States, particularly in Spanish-speaking communities. Its unique blend of strength and elegance makes it a cherished choice for parents seeking a name with deep cultural significance.
