Blaise is a personal name (from Greek Βλάσιος, the name of Saint Blaise) and surname.

Contents

The meaning of Greek Blasios is unclear; it may have been a by-name of the saint, derived from Latin blaesus "lisp", thus "the lisper"; alternatively, it may just be a corruption of the name Basilius (Greek basíleios "royal; kingly").
