About Vasilios

Vasilios is a masculine given name documented in English and Finnish. English Wiktionary traces it to Ancient Greek Βασίλειος via Greek, with the stated meaning “of the king, kingly, royal”.

Ancient Greek origin

Source-reported

Meaning: “of the king, kingly, royal”

From a transliteration of Modern Greek Βασίλειος (Vasíleios), a male given name used in (modern) Greece, which in turn derives from Ancient Greek Βασίλειος (Basíleios), from βασίλειος (basíleios, “of the king, kingly, royal”), from βασιλεύς (basileús, “king”). Doublet of Basil. See Basil for more details.

About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Vasilios” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure applications. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: US national Social Security card applications by name, sex and birth year; not a complete birth registry, especially before 1937.
Rounding: Integer application counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names with at least 5 occurrences in a year and sex are included. Missing observations are not zeros.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. The mirror's derived rank column is not used.
