Blind; fairy palace; or a variant of Sheila
Sheala is primarily considered a modern phonetic spelling variant of the Irish name Sheila, which is the Hibernian form of Cécile (Latin Caecilia). It may also be interpreted as a variant of the Irish name Shea, meaning 'stately' or 'admirable', or linked to the word 'Sídhe' referring to Irish fairy mounds.
