Blind
Derived from the Roman family name Caecilius, which stems from the Latin word 'caecus'. While the literal meaning is blind, it historically suggests a spiritual or inner vision rather than a physical lack. It is the French feminine form of Cecil and shares its heritage with the more common Cecilia.
