Detailed etymology (in Slovak)
Šejla je slovenská pravopisná podoba anglického mena Sheila. To vzniklo poangličtením írskeho mena Síle, ktoré sa vyvinulo zo stredovekej írskej adaptácie anglonormanského mena Cecile, pochádzajúceho z latinského mena Caecilia. Caecilia bolo pôvodne ženské rodové meno rímskeho rodu Caeciliovcov; jeho tradičné spájanie s latinským caecus, „slepý“, je ľudovou etymológiou, nie spoľahlivo doloženým pôvodným významom.
