Vasile

The surname Vasile is a name of Romanian origin, derived from the given name Vasile, which is the Romanian form of the name Basil. The name Basil is of Greek origin and means 'regal' or 'royal'.

The Vasile surname is not widely known in British genealogy, as it is more commonly found in Romania and other Eastern European countries. It is likely that individuals bearing the surname Vasile in Britain have ancestral roots in Romania or other parts of Eastern Europe.

The Vasile surname may have been introduced to Britain through immigration, either through individuals or families moving to the country for various reasons such as work, education, or to escape political unrest in their home countries. Immigration from Romania and Eastern Europe to Britain has increased in recent decades, contributing to the diversification of British surnames.

As with many surnames of foreign origin, the Vasile surname adds to the rich tapestry of multiculturalism in Britain, reflecting the country's history of welcoming individuals from different backgrounds and cultures.

There are approximately 192 people named Vasile in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around three in a million people in Britain are named Vasile.
