Vasiliya Origin and Meaning

The name Vasiliya is a girl's name.

Vasiliya is the feminine form of Vasily (or Vasiliy), a Russian name derived from the Greek 'Basileios' meaning 'royal' or 'kingly.' Common in Eastern European countries, particularly Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria, this name carries an air of nobility and classical elegance. The four-syllable structure gives Vasiliya a rhythmic, flowing quality that sounds distinctly Slavic. While well-established in Eastern European cultures, Vasiliya remains rare in Western countries, making it an exotic choice outside its regions of origin. The name offers the appealing nickname options of Vasya or Liya for everyday use. Vasiliya's rich cultural heritage and regal meaning make it distinctive yet meaningful.
