Im sure I read somewhere it means "from the heavens" or something like that.

 

Celica means "from the heavens" in Latin.

Supra means "above or "better".

 

So Celica Supra means "from above the heavens".

Well said MrDave. Celica does indeed roughly translate to 'Celestial' or 'from the heavens' (In Latin!).

Supra means 'above'- those half-frame (semi-rimless) glasses that people wear are known as 'Supra' frames, as the frame is only 'above' and not below the lens. Interesting that one of the three types of glasses frame (full, Supra and rimless) would be called a Supra, I wonder if there are owners on here who werent aware they were wearing a Supra on their face!
