In 2025, 50 babies in England and Wales were named Celia. In the US, 317 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 853 in 1915.

Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Celia was most common in 1895, when it went to 0.11% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
