Cecette

/suh · SETT/


“Possibly little blind one”

Possibly a diminutive of Cécile, formed with the French feminine suffix '-ette' (as in Henri to Henriette). Cécile is traditionally linked to the Roman family name Caecilius and, through it, to Latin caecus, 'blind', though the family name may instead be of Etruscan origin and the blind connection is considered folk etymology rather than settled history. If that reading holds, Cecette would possibly carry the same association, 'little blind one'.
