Blasius Origin and Meaning

The name Blasius is a boy's name of German origin.

Blasius is a venerable masculine name with ancient Roman roots, derived from the Latin 'blaesus' meaning 'lisping' or 'stammering.' It gained prominence through St. Blasius (also known as St. Blaise), a 4th-century Armenian physician and bishop who became a widely venerated saint associated with healing throat ailments. The name has remained in use primarily in European Catholic traditions, especially in Germany (as Blasius), Italy (as Biagio), and Eastern European countries. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it carries historical gravitas and religious significance. The name offers distinctive nickname options like Blaze or Blais. Blasius represents a bold choice for parents seeking a name with classical roots and religious heritage.
