Cellos, like Violins, Violas, and Double Basses, are all in the Viola Family of Instruments, also known in English as the Violin Family of Instruments.
They are, in the order I listed, the Violoncello, Violin, Viola, and Violon. Respectively "Small big viola, little viola, viola, and big viola" in the original Latin.
Again, though, translated to English they are all members of the Violin Family, while retaining their specific names.
