Blaise Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Properly the French original of Blase or Blaze. ‘Some consider Blasius’—whence, obviously, Blaise—‘to be a mere contraction of Greek basilios (Royal); but long before that name prevailed, at least among historical personages, we hear of Blatius, Blattius’—in both of which the ti is soft—‘or Blasius, as a man of Salapia, in Apulia, whose name seems to have signified a babbler’, Yonge; St. Blasius was iron-combed to death, hence the Patron Saint of English wool-staplers (Swan); in C17 the name was rendered still more illustrious by being attached to Pascal, the great French moralist, mathematician and physicist. See also Blaze.
In France the name of the saint is found written both Blaise and Blais (in the diocese of Oléron Blau, and in Germany Blaes). In Latin it occurs as Blasius and Blavius. It seems to be the same with the Roman name Blæsus, which Statius renders lisper (from blœsus, lisping, speaking inarticulately, stammering, stuttering).
Greek (masculine) - insensate.
