BASIL. English.
From Latin Basilius, from Greek Basilios
(q.v.), meaning "kingly." (History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884). Also the name of an herb. Usage: America,
Australia, England, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland.
... One day, in 620, when Attila,
count of Champagne, was out hunting, he came to Verzy, where stood the
monastery of St. Basil.. A wild boar, chased by the dogs, ran for
refuge to the saint, who was sitting in the sun outside his cell; and
Basil covered the terrified beast with his cloak. The dogs came
up, but were at a standstill, not knowing what to do. Presently
the count came to the spot, and recognizing in this incident the finger
of God, gave St. Basil a large part of the forest, a part of Bouzy, and
the town of Sept-Saulx.—Mgr. Guérin, Vies des Saints, vol. xiii. p.
603. (A Dictionary of Miracles, Brewer, 1894)
