The blasius Surname
blasius Name Meaning and History
German, Dutch, and Scandinavian: from the Latin personal name
Blasius. This was a Roman family name, originating as a byname
for someone with some defect, either of speech or gait, from Latin
blaesus ‘stammering’ (compare Greek blaisos
‘bow-legged’). It was borne by a Christian saint martyred in Armenia
in 316, whose cult achieved wide popularity, in particular as the
patron saint of carders by virtue of the fact that he was ‘carded’ to
death, i.e. his flesh was scraped off in small pieces with metal
combs.
