Cilia is a European name. Cilia is derived from the Latin name Caecilia, the feminine form of Caecilius, which comes from the Latin word "caecus" meaning "blind." The name has been used primarily in Christian cultures, particularly among Roman Catholics, due to Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians venerated since at least the 2nd century.
