    Name Meaning

    From the Greek name Basileios ‘royal’ (a derivative of basileus ‘king’). This name was borne by St Basil the Great ( c.330–379 ), bishop of Caesarea, a theologian regarded as one of the Fathers of the Eastern Church. It was also the name of several early saints martyred in the East.
