A different spelling (but identical pronunciation) is used in the series T*Witches; this time, it's spelt SERSEE.

I'm usually loath to reference bearers of different spellings, but the cruel and insane queen of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, written by George R. R. Martin, bears the name Cersei. Just in case anyone needed more encouragement NOT to name their child this. :P

Circe was a minor god in the Greek myths who turned men who came to her island into pigs and other creatures befitting their nature (but they were mostly turned into pigs).
