What is the meaning of the name Blaze ?

The baby name Blaze is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced BLAYZ (/bleɪz/).

Blaze is English in Origin.

Blaze is an English given name drawn from the noun “blaze” (a bright flame; to shine fiercely) and as a modern phonetic form of Blaise, from Latin Blasius “lisping, stammering.” Contemporary usage emphasizes the fiery imagery and the idiom “to blaze a trail,” lending connotations of energy and leadership. In the U.S. and other Anglophone countries, it rose from the late 20th century as a bold, unisex choice, though more common for boys.

The saintly and scholarly legacy stems from Saint Blaise, a 4th‑century bishop and martyr, and from mathematician Blaise Pascal, which sustained Blaise across Europe. Related variants include Blaise (French/English), Blaize and Blayze (modern spellings), and Blaze as a word‑name. International cousins trace to Blasius: Spanish Blas, Italian Biagio, Portuguese Brás/Braz, Polish Błażej, Hungarian Balázs, Greek Vlasios, and Russian Vlasiy. Meaning ranges from “flame, torch, to shine” (English) to the older sense of “lisping” via Latin.
