Blase Origin and Meaning

The name Blase is a boy's name.

Blase is a masculine name with Latin and Greek origins, derived from 'Blasius,' which relates to 'blaise' meaning 'lisping' or 'stuttering.' The name is associated with Saint Blaise, a physician and bishop who became a martyr in the 4th century. In modern usage, Blase carries a sophisticated, unique quality that appeals to parents seeking uncommon names. The name has maintained steady but limited usage throughout Western cultures. It's sometimes confused with the word 'blasé,' meaning indifferent or unimpressed, though the name's pronunciation typically places emphasis on the first syllable, distinguishing it from the French-derived term.
