Vasilos Origin and Meaning

The name Vasilos is a boy's name.

Vasilos is a masculine name of Greek origin, representing a variant form of Vasilis or Basil. The name derives from the Greek 'basileus' meaning 'king' or 'royal,' carrying connotations of nobility and leadership. This particular spelling variation is less common than Vasilis, which is the standard modern Greek form of the name. Throughout Greek history and Orthodox traditions, the name has maintained popularity due to its association with Saint Basil the Great, a significant 4th-century theologian and one of the most important figures in Eastern Christianity. While predominantly found in Greece and among Greek diaspora communities, Vasilos has a timeless quality and strong cultural connections. The name combines classical heritage with a strong, masculine sound that travels well across cultural boundaries.
