Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Južnoslovanské mužské meno utvorené od slova bosiljak vo význame „bazalka“. Názov rastliny má vzdialenejší pôvod v gréckom prídavnom mene basilikós, teda „kráľovský“, odvodenom od slova basileús „kráľ“. Meno preto patrí medzi mená motivované názvom rastliny; s menami Bazil a Vasil ho spája grécky etymologický základ.
