Blasia is Latin in Origin.

Blasia is a rare feminine given name derived from the Latin Blasius, a Roman cognomen ultimately from blaesus, "lisping, stammering." Through the cult of Saint Blaise (Blasius), the 4th-century bishop of Sebaste and patron of throat ailments, the name took root across medieval Europe; in Latin-keeping parish records, women sometimes appear as Blasia, a straightforward feminine formation.

Variants and related forms include Blasa (Spanish), Blaža and Blažica (South Slavic), Biagina (Italian), and the modern unisex Blaise/Blaze in English and French; masculine counterparts are Blaise, Blas, Biagio, Blasius, Blaž, and Błażej. The meaning is traditionally interpreted as "one who lisps," though for many it carries the softer association of St. Blaise's protection. Blasia remains uncommon today, lending an old-world, ecclesiastical tone; some families mark the name day on 3 February, Saint Blaise's feast.
