Celli: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

Celli and Cellini are two spellings with one history. The name is usually explained as “From Marcellino”. Before spelling was fixed, Cellini was also written Celli. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. Other spellings include Cellino.

In the 2010 US Census, 1,196 Americans gave Celli as their last name (rank 21,750). That puts it among the top 25,000 US surnames. 490 people born in France between 1891 and 2000 carried the Celli name at birth. Similar-sounding surnames on Herald Lab: Cella.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Celli, so the heraldry linked to Cellini is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Celli report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
