A pearl shining with the radiance of bravery and fearlessness... a spell woven into the valleys of literature and the seas of myth, Vasilisa is a splendid figure whose name is just the same as sovereign grace and intrepid courage. Each letter, a strawberry-colored thread in the cloak of a princess who ventures beyond the castle walls, embracing the allure of untamed worlds. In this tale, Vasilisa is a heroine adorned with bravery as her gown, a crown of regality gracing her noble brow. Moonlit ballrooms and unworldly creatures in every syllable... oh, Vasilisa! Your journey beckons us to the kingdom of dreams, where courage and royalty coalesce in a waltz of timeless enchantment.

I just discovered this name a few days ago. Vasilisa Petrovna is the female protagonist in the book The Bear and the Nightingale. A wonderful book. I fell in love with this name because of the character, a strong girl that was always underestimated. I am definitely thinking to name my future kid Vasilisa!

I found Vasilisa for the first time in a fairy tale. It was Italianized as Vassilissa which is good to understand which kind of s you have to use but the look was so weird!
However I pronounce Vasilisa as va-ZEE-lee-sa because using two "s of sun" is too hard for me.
Anyway the name is beautiful. Basilio (the Italian masculine form) is one of my favourite names and I think that Vasilisa is the best among the feminine forms.
I like it a lot!

I adore my name.
My name is Vasilisa Anastasia.
I believe it is quite lovely and a bit simple.
I pronounce it {vah-sah-lee-sah}.
My nicknames are as given, {Vassa, Vasya and Vasilisochka, but hardly ever Lisa}. I am sometimes called {Lissa, pronounced as lis-ah}.
A darling I am! My mother said it reminded her of fairy tales and porcelain dolls.
I am eternally grateful to have such a beautiful and rare name as Vasilisa.♡.

The first time I heard this name, or more precisely, read it, I absolutely loved it. But I thought at that time that Vasilisa was just a name, that found his source by the big fantasy of Rachelle Mead, the writer of Vampire Academy.
It is by accident that I found this name here. And it surprised me, that this was a REAL name. I liked it, because it seemed to be a name that was exotic and rare in use, if this name was a real one. In my mind's eye the owner of this name was such royal with, what's called, a classical beauty.
I know now that this name is true, but still, this name is my favorite. Just because it sounds to me, for a time where Tsars where ruling in Russia. :)

One of the oldest Russian names! Vassa could be the diminutive.

This is such a beautiful name. My Russian professor said that, outside of the fairy tale, you rarely ever hear it on an actual Russian. I like how it's a very uncommon name without being some made-up monstrosity.

In Russia it is a very very old folk story. There are two Vasilisas. Vasilisa the Beautiful and Vasilisa the Wise. As told Vasilisa is one of the most oldest female names in Russia. It is considered to be very rare so therefore it is also very beautiful. In Greek it means 'Queen/Princess'.
