Blas Origin and Meaning

The name Blas is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Blas is a masculine name of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin name 'Blasius,' which comes from 'blaesus' meaning 'lisping' or 'stuttering.' In Spanish-speaking countries, particularly Spain and parts of Latin America, Blas has maintained consistent use throughout history. The name gained significance through Saint Blaise (San Blas in Spanish), a physician and bishop who became a Christian martyr in the 4th century. Blas is celebrated annually on February 3rd in many Catholic communities. The name is appreciated for its brevity, strong sound, and cultural heritage. While not among the most popular Spanish names internationally, Blas continues to be chosen by families valuing its historical depth and straightforward pronunciation.
