Bazyla is Greek in Origin.

Bazyla is a rare Polish feminine form ultimately linked to Greek Basíleios “royal, kingly,” carried into Polish via Latin Basilius and the masculine Bazyli. It appears sporadically in parish registers from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth era into the 19th century, usually as a vernacular feminine honoring St. Basil; modern use is uncommon but clear in a Slavic context.

Close variants include Polish Bazylia and the pan-Romance Basilia (Spanish and Portuguese Basília, Italian Basilia), as well as East-Slavic cousins Vasilisa/Vasilina and Ukrainian Vasylyna; related masculine forms are Bazyli, Basil, Vasyl/Vasiliy. Alternative spellings such as Bazila occur in historical records. The core meaning remains “royal, regal,” conveying dignity and leadership, while the name’s saints’-day associations (notably 2 January for St. Basil the Great) provide a traditional calendar anchor.
