Cecilie

Cecilie is the Norwegian, Danish, and Czech feminine form of the Latin family name Caecilia, itself derived from the Roman clan name Caecilius, which is thought to stem from the Latin caecus, meaning blind. The name gained widespread use in Christian Europe through Saint Cecilia, a second- or third-century Roman martyr who became the patron saint of music. Cecílie is the accented Czech spelling of the same name. Related forms include Cecilia, Cécile, Celia, and Sheila.
