Basilio

Origen y significado de Basilio

Basilio comes from the Greek basíleios, 'kingly, royal,' from basiléus, 'king.' The name thus evokes regal dignity and authority, and in Christian tradition it shines through Saint Basil the Great, a major Church Father and organizer of Eastern monastic life. Found in Italy and Spanish-speaking countries, it has counterparts in the English Basil, French Basile, and Russian Vasily, hugely popular in Eastern Europe. It conveys strength, learning, and an ancient elegance with international reach.
