Celva is a name with significance. It combines the names of Celva's father, Celestin, and his mother, Valerie. "It reminds me of how much they wanted to be together, to create a happy family," Celva says.
His brothers names are also significant. Nathan, age 7, is named for a wise man in the Bible. Beni, age 4, means "blessed." And although the two-year-old's name is Celestin Jr., after his father, for now everyone calls him Le Petit ("the little one").
