CAELIS - Latin for Heaven cf. CAELO as found in The Lords Prayer aka PATER NOSTER:
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.See discussion of CAELIS vs. CAELO at link below:

CAELIS fascinated me so much because it contains the AE combination that is 1. my name and 2. has historically been a vowel combination that I have never been able to remember how to pronounce. On translate.google.com it was pronounced as "KAH-EE-LIS" (approx.) which sort of made me crazy. I couldn't figure out where the word had migrated to in English. Usually Latin Words, ESPECIALLY Church Words, have been somehow retained in English.
I wanted to write this entry for CAELIS being my "Word of the Momend" : ), so I was searching for a website that would define it to place at the head of this entry. In the first 50 or so results there weren't any good English language definitions or translations, except for the discussion in forum.wordreference.com, but then I found www.forvo.com, which is a pronunciation website. And that's when I found CAELIS is pronounced:
CHAYLIS
Like Chalice...which streams me through 'Sangraal' 'Chalice' and the whole Holy Blood, Holy Grail/DaVinci Code spectrum. That's where it comes from! Crazy conspiracy theorists!
I also assume Cello might come from Caelo...heavenly instrument...maybe? I'll have to look it up. : )
