What Does the Name Blaize Mean?
Blaize is an English variant spelling of Blaise, a name that comes from the Latin family name Blasius. The usual explanation is that Blasius derives from Latin blaesus, meaning 'lisping' or 'stammering'; that Latin word is sometimes linked to Greek blaisos, meaning 'crooked' or 'distorted.' The literal sense refers to a speech habit, though as a Roman family name it need not have described every person who bore it. The spelling Blaize does not come from the English word blaze ('fire'); it is a variant of the same name. The meaning is therefore commonly given as 'lisping,' but the ultimate origin of Blasius is not entirely certain.
Blaize Name History & Origins
The name is tied to Saint Blaise (Latin Blasius, Greek Βλάσιος), traditionally a bishop of Sebaste in Armenia who was martyred in the early fourth century, often dated to 316, under the emperor Licinius. His cult spread in the Eastern and Western churches, and in the Middle Ages he became a popular saint, especially as a patron of people with throat ailments. The French form Blaise developed from Latin Blasius, and Middle English use of the name reflects that French form. The spelling Blaize is an English variant of Blaise; the z does not indicate a different origin or a different saint. The surname forms Blaise, Blaze, and Blaize also come from the personal name, and as a given name Blaize belongs to the same tradition as Blaise.
