Cece

Cece is an English diminutive form of names beginning with the sound "Ce-," most commonly Cecelia or Cecilia, which derive from the Latin family name Caecilius, itself rooted in the Latin caecus, meaning blind. The name gained wider cultural recognition partly through the veneration of Saint Cecilia, a early Christian martyr who became the patron saint of musicians. Cece functions as an informal, affectionate short form and is also sometimes used as an independent given name. Related forms include Cecily, Cecile, and Celia.
