Meaning and background
The story behind Cersei
Cersei is associated with Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. HBO's character description identifies Lena Headey as the actor and introduces Cersei as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, married to King Robert and protective of her children. This supplies a precise fantasy reference for the dog name. The character's royal position does not make “queen” a translation of Cersei or establish a historical personal-name origin.
