History and Origin
Sheila (alternatively spelled Shelagh and Sheelagh) is a common given name for a female, derived from the Irish name Síle/Sìle, which is believed to be a Gaelic form of Cecilia. Like "Cecil" or "Cecilia", the name means "blind", from the Latin word caecus.
It is also encountered as an alternative spelling of the unrelated Indian girl's name Sheela, which is of Sanskrit origin.
Anglicized spelling of Irish Gaelic Síle, now so common that it is hardly felt to be Irish any longer. In Australia since the 19th century it has been a slang generic term for any woman.
