Vlas Origin and Meaning

The name Vlas is a boy's name of Russian origin.

Vlas is a masculine name of Slavic origin, primarily used in Russia and Eastern European countries. It derives from the Greek name 'Blasios' (Blaise), which passed into Slavic languages. Traditionally, Vlas was associated with Saint Blaise, a physician and bishop who became a Christian martyr. The name has maintained consistent though moderate usage in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe. Vlas has a distinctive brevity and strength, with the uncommon initial 'V' combined with the crisp final 's' creating a name that sounds both traditional and contemporary. Outside Slavic regions, the name remains quite rare, offering an authentic cultural option for those with Eastern European heritage or those seeking a concise masculine name with historical depth.
