Vasilus Origin and Meaning

The name Vasilus is a boy's name.

Vasilus appears to be a variant spelling of Vasilis or Basil, masculine names with Greek origins. The root name derives from 'basileus,' meaning 'king' or 'royal,' carrying connotations of nobility and leadership. This particular spelling with the 'us' ending gives it a more Latinized or ancient Roman quality. Basil has significant religious importance in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, associated with Saint Basil the Great. While the standard forms Vasilis and Basil have moderate usage, Vasilus remains extremely rare, offering a distinctive option that still connects to classical history. The name's strong consonants and flowing syllables create a dignified, scholarly impression, potentially yielding the friendly nickname 'Vas.'
