About the name Blaise

The unpromising Latin root has been thoroughly overwritten by a mathematician, a saint and the sheer drama of the sound. Spelled Blaise it looks continental and cerebral; spelled Blaze it becomes something else entirely, which is a distinction worth thinking about before signing the form.

Blaise is a boy name of French (from Latin) origin, pronounced BLAYZ. On the NameRarity scale it scores 80 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the steadily rising.
