Best Answer

There is no separate word for "heaven" in Latin. The concept is expressed by using

  • caelum, "the sky"
  • astra, "the stars"
  • caeli, "the skies", particularly in Christian Latin

By an odd quirk, the plural of the neuter noun caelum is masculine caeli, not neuter *caela. Late Latin pronunciation changes led to a number of variant spelling for caeli in Christian literature, including coeli and celi.
