Meaning & History
Modern Greek form of Blasios. When looking at the native spelling, note the following: the first letter of this name (the beta) was a 'b' in ancient Greek, but it is a 'v' in modern Greek. This is why, although Blasios and Vlasios are technically spelled the same in the Greek script, they are different from each other. Blasios is an old form, while Vlasios is the modern form.
