feminine · English origin
Cece is an English diminutive form derived from names beginning with the syllable Ce-, most commonly Cecelia or Cecilia, which trace back to the Latin family name Caecilia, itself from the Roman clan name Caecilus, related to the Latin word caecus meaning blind. The name gained wide use as an affectionate short form in English-speaking countries and has increasingly been given as an independent name. Cecilia, its most prominent source name, is associated with the third-century Christian martyr Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Related forms include Cecily, Celia, and Cicely.
