Variant of Sheila, meaning blind
Shela is a variant spelling of the Irish name Sheila, which is the Gaelic form of CΓ©cile or Cecilia. It ultimately derives from the Roman family name Caecilius, based on the Latin word 'caecus'. While the literal meaning is 'blind', it has long been associated with the patron saint of music, Saint Cecilia.
