Bosiljko

Bosiljko is a traditional South Slavic male name derived from the fragrant herb basil. Its distant Greek root relates to the word for 'kingly' or 'royal', though the name itself refers directly to the plant. Outside the Balkans it is quite rare and carries a distinctly lyrical Croatian and Serbian character.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Južnoslovanské mužské meno utvorené od slova bosiljak vo význame „bazalka“. Názov rastliny má vzdialenejší pôvod v gréckom prídavnom mene basilikós, teda „kráľovský“, odvodenom od slova basileús „kráľ“. Meno preto patrí medzi mená motivované názvom rastliny; s menami Bazil a Vasil ho spája grécky etymologický základ.
