Basylle is Greek in Origin.

Basylle is a rare French-leaning variant, often treated as a feminine counterpart of Basile, ultimately from Greek Basileios via Latin Basilius. The root basileus means “king,” giving the name the sense “royal” or “kingly.” Carried across Europe by the cults of early Christian saints - especially Basil the Great of Caesarea - it appears sporadically in Francophone records (as Basille/Basylle) from the late medieval to early modern periods. While Basil saw 19th–20th‑century revivals in English, Basylle remains uncommon today, chosen for its antique elegance and distinctive y-spelling.

Related forms and cognates include Basil (English), Basile (French), Basilio (Italian/Spanish), Basílio (Portuguese), Vasile (Romanian), Vasil/Vasileios or Vasilios (Greek), Vasyl (Ukrainian), and Vasiliy/Vassili (Russian). Feminine counterparts and near-relations include Basilia, Basilla, and the Slavic Vasilisa. The culinary herb basil shares the same Greek “royal” root (basilikon), reinforcing the name’s dignified meaning.
