Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Blind, one-eyed; Attached leaf
Looking closely at the feminine name Sessile is the only way to discover its two distinct meanings. At first glance, this moniker appears to be a respelling of Cecily, the English form of Cecilia. Deriving from the Latin and Roman title Caecilius, Cecily means "blind" or "one-eyed," potentially sharing its definition with Sessile. If you're familiar with botanical terms, you'll know that a sessile is a leaf that's attached directly to a plant's stem. Indeed, the word "sessile" can be used to describe any permanently attached object. Perhaps baby Sessile will be your tiny sidekick, never far from your sight!
