BASILEIOS (Βασιλειος). Greek
name meaning "kingly." Also spelled Basileus
and Basilios.
The Latin spelling is Basilius.
That
royal-looking serpent who was supposed to wear a crown on his head, and to
kill with a look, was the basilisk; and the familiar basilicon ointment
was so termed as being fit for a king.
Basileios (kingly) was not
infrequent among the early Christians, and gained popularity through that
great father of the Church, the Bishop of Neo-Cæsarea, as well as other
more obscure saints. It is extremely common in the Eastern Church,
and especially in Russia, where the first letter suffers the usual change
into V. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
