Blasi
Blasi Origin and Meaning
Blasi is a masculine name with Mediterranean origins, primarily connected to Italian and Catalan naming traditions. It functions as a variant or diminutive form of Blasius or Blaise, which derive from the Latin 'blaesus' meaning 'stuttering' or 'lisping.' The name carries historical significance through Saint Blaise, a 4th-century Armenian physician and martyr who became one of the most popular medieval saints. While uncommon in international contexts, Blasi maintains cultural relevance in specific Mediterranean regions, particularly in Sicily and parts of Spain. The name has occasionally transferred to surname usage as well. Its short, distinctive sound pattern gives it a modern feel despite its ancient origins, appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth but contemporary simplicity.
