| Name Meaning: |
From the Latin Caecilius, an old Roman family name derived from caecus (blind, dim-sighted). The name, borne by a 3rd-century saint and companion of St. Cyprian, was common in England in the Middle Ages, after which it died out. The recent revival of Cecil as a given name stems from the transferred use of the surname derived from the Welsh Seissylt, which is believed to be from the Latin Sextilius, a derivative of sextus (sixth) |
