Basili Family Crest & Name History

The last name Basili is another written form of Basile, an Italian family name.

Basili and Basile differ only in the final vowel; Italian surnames often appear in singular and plural versions. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Basili, so the heraldry linked to Basile is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Basili family name pack.
