Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Slovenské meno Blažej vzniklo z latinského mena Blasius, ktoré sa najčastejšie spája s latinským prídavným menom blaesus vo význame „šušľavý, zajakavý“. Latinské slovo sa dáva do súvisu so starogréckym blaisos, označujúcim človeka s nohami vykrivenými smerom von. Spájanie mena so slovami blažený a blaženosť je iba druhotná ľudová etymológia.
