Cesya is Latin, Slavic in Origin.

Cesya is a Slavic–Yiddish diminutive of Cecilia/Cecylia, ultimately from Latin Caecilia, meaning “blind” or “of the Caecilius family.” Pronounced TSES-ya, it follows the common Slavic -sya/-sia affectionate ending used for female names.

The form appears in 19th–20th‑century records across Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the Russian Empire, especially in Ashkenazi communities, and is sometimes found as an independent given name today. Variant spellings include Cesia (Polish), Tsesya or Tsesia (transliteration from Cyrillic Цеся), and Sesya; cognate full forms are Cecylia (Polish), Cecília (Portuguese/Hungarian), Cecilie (Scandinavian/Czech), and Cecilia (English/Italian/Spanish). Owing to the cult of Saint Cecilia, patron of music, the name and its pet forms often carried cultured, musical associations in Catholic and mixed regions. Note: Cesya is unrelated to Spanish Cesia, a modern evangelical form of the biblical Keziah.
