Literally, it means "born Sica"
Because you have a double "e", this indicates that the person is female - the French would write it "née Sica". For a bloke, it would be "né Sica".
In Brit. Eng., this is usually used to give a married woman's maiden name - the name she had before marriage. My wife might be Jane Smith (if I am John Smith) née Jones - because she was Jane Jones before getting married.

It usually comes after a woman's name and means that was her last name before she got married. In this case, the woman's original last name would have been Sica.

ne (for a man) or nee (for a woman) means that is the name they were born with, before they changed it, usually on marriage.
The first e always takes an acute accent as it is a French word.
