Bazill is a rare modern spelling of Basil, descending from Greek Basíleios via Latin Basilius and meaning “royal” or “kingly.” Through the root basileus, it carries a sense of authority and dignity. The spelling with z and double l echoes forms seen across Europe and emphasizes the short a sound (“BAZ-”), while keeping the traditional meaning tied to regality.

Its use spread with early Christian veneration of Saint Basil the Great (4th century), establishing strong traditions in Greek and Slavic lands. English records show sporadic medieval use, followed by a 19th‑century revival; today Bazill remains uncommon. International variants include Basil, Bazil, Basile, Basilius, Basilio; Greek Vasileios/Vasilios; Romanian Vasile; Slavic Vasil, Vasyl, Vasiliy/Vasilii; Polish Bazyli.
