sesilia is Latin in Origin.
Sesilia is a cross-linguistic form of Cecilia, from Latin Caecilia, feminine of Caecilius and ultimately from caecus "blind". Through the cult of Saint Cecilia, the Roman martyr celebrated as the patron of music, the name gained prominence in late antiquity and the Middle Ages and remained common in many Christian traditions. The Sesilia spelling reflects phonetic adaptation in languages where soft c is rendered s; it is standard or well-attested in Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, and as the Georgian transcription 'სესილია'.
Variants and cognates include Cecilia/Cecelia, Cäcilia, Cécile, Cecília, Cecilie (Scandinavian), Cecílie (Czech), Cecylia (Polish), and Cecilija (South Slavic); English medieval Cicely also survives. Diminutives and short forms include Cece/Ceci, Sisi/Sissi, Lia, and Cila; Celia is sometimes treated as a related short form. Meaning "blind" is often reinterpreted through Saint Cecilia's musical symbolism.
