Biago is Italian in Origin.

Biago is an Italian given name, a streamlined spelling of Biagio, which derives from Late Latin Blasius, rooted in the adjective blaesus meaning “lisping” or “stammering.” The name entered common use through the cult of Saint Blaise (San Biagio), a 4th-century bishop martyred in Armenia and widely venerated across medieval Europe, especially in Italy. Through this saint, the name acquired protective associations with the throat and voice, softening the literal meaning.

While Biagio is the traditional Italian form, Biago appears in southern Italian records and among Italian-diaspora families as a modern or dialectal variant. Related forms include Blaise (French/English), Blas (Spanish), Blasius (Latin/German), Blaž (Slavic), Vlaho (Croatian, Dalmatia), and Vlas/Vlasiy (East Slavic). Italian diminutives and derivatives include Biagino and the surnames Biagi and Biagini. Usage today is uncommon but familiar, carrying a classic, pan-European heritage.
