Bazyll is a modern, stylized respelling of Basil, ultimately from Greek Basileios, rooted in basileus "king," giving the meaning "royal" or "kingly." Through Latin Basilius and the renown of 4th-century St. Basil the Great, the name spread across Christian Europe, especially the Byzantine and Slavic worlds. The Polish forms Bazyl and Bazyli sit close to this spelling and likely inform its twin-L look.

In Poland, Bazyli is established, with name days on 1 or 2 January for St. Basil.
