      Meaning of the first name Nancilea

      Origin

      American

      Meaning

      Weary Grace

      Variations

      Nancia, CAECILIA, Marsilea
      The name Nancilea has its origins in the United States of America, and it derives from the combination of two different elements. The first component, Nancy, is of English origin and means weary or full of sorrow. The second element is a variation of the name Leia, which has several potential origins including Hebrew, Hawaiian, and Greek. It is commonly understood to mean grace in all three languages. Thus, Nancilea can be interpreted as weary grace or graceful weariness.

      Throughout history, the name Nancilea is not widely recorded, suggesting it is relatively uncommon. However, its usage in modern times has gained some traction. Given its American roots, it is most commonly found in American families or communities. The name may be chosen to represent the blend of contrasting qualities it encapsulates - a sense of weariness intertwined with grace. Nancilea has a poetic quality that can convey both strength and vulnerability. While not a frequently encountered name, its rarity adds to its appeal for parents seeking distinctive and meaningful names for their children.
