History & Origin
Secily traces to Cecily, borne in England since the Middle Ages and drawn from the Roman clan name Caecilia. That name comes from a root meaning 'blind,' and its bearers include the martyr Saint Cecilia, later patron of music. The Secily spelling strips the name toward how it sounds and picks up a faint resemblance to Sicily, but its meaning stays anchored in the old Latin family name.
The name was scarce in this form, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties. A Secily born then is now nearing forty, wearing a name most people would recognize only in its Cecily dress.
