Aracelly is a feminine given name most likely originating as a variant of Araceli or Aracelis. The name Araceli is commonly associated with the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, 'Nuestra Señora del Araceli,' which means 'Our Lady of the Altar of Heaven,' from the Latin 'ara caeli.' Another theory suggests a derivation from the Spanish place name Araceli in the Basque Country. The name has been used in Spanish-speaking communities and gained modest use in the United States beginning in the late 20th century.
