US Popularity Rank: 12335

Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Blind; Sixth

Prepare to be blindsided by the perfect baby name! Sesilia is a feminine choice of Welsh origin, derived from the classically popular name Cecilia. While its two meanings may seem very different at first glance, the name has an interesting history. The definition “sixth” comes from the Old Welsh root name Seissylt, while “blind” comes from the blind Saint Cecilia, who was the patron saint of music. With a name like this, not only will baby be sure to love blindly and follow their instincts, but they will no doubt be first place in your heart!
