Cecille is Latin in Origin.
Cecille is a modern international respelling of Cecile/Cécile, the French form of Cecilia, itself the feminine of the Roman family name Caecilius. The root is Latin caecus, “blind,” the standard etymology carried by all Cecilia-variants. Through the medieval cult of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music, the name spread widely across Europe, yielding Middle English Cicely and Cecily and sustaining steady use in French as Cécile, with periodic revivals in English from the 19th century onward.
The double‑l, final‑e spelling mirrors French orthography and appears in English-language records from the 20th century, often chosen to distinguish the name from Cecile or to cue a se-SEEL pronunciation. Variant forms include Cecilia, Cecelia, Cecile, Cécile, Cecily, Cicely, Cecilie, and Latin Caecilia; the related masculine is Cecil. Common diminutives are Cece/Ceci, Celie, and Cilla, with Celia a historically related offshoot. Cecille keeps the saintly, musical associations while offering a slightly more ornate look.
