About Cersei
Cersei Lannister is one of the most villainous -- and, in a certain light, glamorous -- characters in HBO's Game of Thrones, played by beautiful actress Lena Headey.Though we can't say for sure how author George R.R. Martin came up with the character's name, it is a near-homophone with Circe, a seductive witch in Greek mythology.
Pronounced SUR-say.
As of October 2026, Cersei ranked #13542 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #9446 in 2017.
