      The origin of the first name Cersei can be traced back to American origins. However, the exact meaning of this name remains unknown. Despite the lack of clarity surrounding its meaning, Cersei has made a notable appearance in both history and modern-day usage.

      Throughout history, records show sporadic instances of individuals named Cersei, although such occurrences are relatively uncommon. Notably, historical references to this name are scarce, indicating its limited usage in the past. It is likely that Cersei was a name used by a select few, potentially within specific cultural or familial contexts.

      In contemporary times, Cersei has gained prominence due to its association with the popular fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. The character Cersei Lannister in the corresponding television series Game of Thrones further heightened the name's visibility. This modern-day usage of Cersei has contributed to its increased recognition and appeal among parents seeking unique and distinctive names for their children.
