Blas is Spanish in Origin.
Blas is the Spanish form of Blaise, from Latin Blasius, ultimately from blaesus ‘lisping, stammering.’ The cult of Saint Blaise, a 4th‑century bishop and martyr venerated for protecting against throat ailments (feast day 3 February), carried the name across Europe. In Spain and the Spanish‑speaking world it has long-standing use, appearing in place names such as San Blas and borne by figures like the admiral Blas de Lezo; it also occurs as a surname in Iberian and Filipino contexts.
Variants include French/English Blaise, modern English Blaze, Italian Biagio, Portuguese Brás/Braz, Galician Brais, Hungarian Balázs, Polish Błażej, Czech/Slovak Blažej, Slovene/Croatian Blaž, and German/Latin Blasius; Russian and other Slavic traditions have Vlas/Vlasiy. Spanish diminutive Blasito and feminine Blasa exist. The meaning is traditionally ‘one who lisps,’ though in English the Blaze spelling sometimes lends a fiery, modern reinterpretation. Today Blas feels compact, traditional, and underused.
