Vasili

This name is also in use in Georgia, where it is the Georgian form of the Russian name Vasiliy. It is a fairly rare name in Georgia, but certainly more common there than Basili, the original Georgian form of Basileios (see Basil). Also see my entry for Basili in the Submitted Names Database. Vasil, which in Georgia could be considered to be a shorter form of Vasili, is most commonly used in Georgia.
