Basylla is Greek in Origin.

Basylla is a rare feminine given name belonging to the Basil/Basilia family, ultimately from Greek basileus, meaning king or ruler, yielding the feminine sense royal or queenly. The spelling with y likely reflects later Latin or vernacular variants that blended Basilla and Basilia. The name carries an elegant, old-world tone while remaining distinctive.

In Christian naming traditions of late antiquity and the Middle Ages, related forms were used in honor of saints such as Basilla/Basilissa of Rome and the Cappadocian St. Basil the Great, which helped spread the root across Greek- and Latin-speaking communities and later into Slavic lands. Basylla itself is very uncommon today, though connected forms see wider use. Variants and cognates include Basilia, Basilla, Basilissa, Vasilisa (Slavic), and Bazylia (Polish). The overall meaning centers on regal dignity and leadership.
