Sheila is associated with the meaning “Blind or heavenly, pure woman” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Sheila is the Irish and anglicized form of Síle, which itself is the Irish version of the Latin name Caelia or the Norman French name Cecilia. Cecilia comes from the Latin word "caecus," meaning blind. In Irish tradition, the name was adapted to fit Gaelic pronunciation and spelling, giving it a distinct Celtic identity over time.
