Selie
s(e)-lie
Origin:Greek
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Moon; Blind
Selie is a feminine name for the little one you'll teach to be a source and seeker of light. Adorable and cheerful in its five letters, Selie is a shortened form of monikers like Selene and Celia. The Greek goddess of the moon was known as Selene, so it's fitting that the name has a lunar meaning. Simply translating to "moon" in Greek, Selene's radiance and elegance are reflected in Selie. From the Latin Celia, Selie gains the definition of "blind," perhaps symbolizing your belief that inner light isn't visual, but a warmth that is sensed and embraced by all.
