Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Je ukrajinskou podobou gréckeho mena Basileios (starogr. Βασίλειος), utvoreného z prídavného mena basileios vo význame „kráľovský“. To súvisí s gréckym podstatným menom basileus, teda „kráľ“ alebo „panovník“. Do ukrajinčiny preniklo prostredníctvom byzantskej kresťanskej tradície v podobe Василь.
