Its formation typically blends characteristics of traditional names with contemporary appeal, making it a choice that resonates with modern preferences while retaining a connection to its historical antecedents.

      Historically, the name Sheila derives from the Irish name Síle, which is a form of the name Celia, rooted in the Latin caelum, meaning heaven.
