The Story of Blaize
Blaize is a variant of Blaise, from the Latin Blasius, possibly derived from blaesus meaning one who lisps or stammers. Despite this humble etymology, the name gained tremendous prestige through Saint Blaise (Blaisus), a 4th-century bishop of Sebaste who became patron saint of wild animals and those with throat ailments. The fiery connotation (blaze) is a popular modern association.
