Meaning: Its source is Caecilia, a Latin name meaning "Blind."

Languages: This girl's name is used in Hungarian.

Narrative: This ancient Roman family name gave rise to the feminine Cecilia, which in time developed into Cecile and Cecily.

Although those names are usually considered female equivalents of the male Cecil, that name probably descended from a Welsh original, Seissylt, meaning ''the sixth child.''
