Meaning: Eyelashes; Blind

Cilia is a feminine name of Latin origin from Cecilia, meaning “blind” and “eyelashes.” Cilia can be found in Spanish, German, and the Scandinavian languages as a beautiful title that dances off the tongue. Cilia’s lyricism ties with Saint Cecilia as the patron saint of music and the blind—a Roman noble lady who was martyred for her devotion to Christianity. Incredibly romantic and sincere, Cilia may remind baby to make a wish on every fallen eyelash.
