Vasilius

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Slavic

Meaning: Of Vasily and Basileios; Royal, kingly

Give baby the royal treatment with the regal name Vasilius. This masculine pick derives from Slavic Vasily and Greek Basileios, meaning "royal" or "kingly." Your Vasilius can draw power from several Russian tsars and Greek athletes who bear the name. Another beautiful alternative is Vasilyus, made famous by Dirilis: Ertugrul, a Turkish TV drama about the Ottoman Empire. When baby Vasilius holds court, they'll leave everyone spellbound!
