Etymology of Basil

Origin of Basil.
The male proper name Basil is a transliteration of the Greek name Basilios, which derives from the word basileus (better pronounced as vasileus), which means king (βασιλεύς).


The etymology of basileus is controversial. Most probably it consists of two words: (a) bas- (base; from the verb veno (βαίνω): go, move ahead - from which also comes the latin verb venire-) and (b) leus (leos -λεώς-: people - from which also comes the English word leity). So basileus (king) literally means the one who is based on the people*.



Saint Basil the Great (330-379) was archibishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia and one of the fathers of the Christian church.

From the same root:
English:
basil (the herb), basilica, basilic.French: Basile, basilique, basilicItalian: Basilio, basilica, basilicoSpanish: Basilio, basilicaGerman: Basilius, Basilika, Basilikum
