📖 À propos Sheila
Sheila est un prénom féminin d'origine irlandaise, anglicisation du gaélique Síle, lui-même dérivé du latin Caelia signifiant 'céleste'. Apporté en Australie par les immigrants irlandais au XIXe siècle, il est devenu si répandu qu'il a évolué en terme argotique australien désignant n'importe quelle femme. Le prénom a connu son apogée au milieu du XXe siècle en Irlande, en Australie et au Royaume-Uni.
