Caecilius Origin and Meaning

The name Caecilius is a boy's name meaning "blind".

The Roman family name that gave rise to Cecil. It is unused on modern boys, although it would be a very offbeat way to get Kai as a nickname.

For several generations of British schoolchildren, this name is forever associated with the Cambridge Latin Course textbooks, whose opening line is "Caecilius est in horto" (Caecilius is in the garden).
