Balthis is a masculine name of Swiss and German origin. It takes inspiration from Greek Balthasar, meaning "Bel protects the king." If you wish to share your Catholic faith, this name can help your little blessing feel connected to the birth of Jesus. Balthasar was one of the Three Wise Men who followed a guiding star to Bethlehem. He gifted baby Jesus an incense-like oil called myrrh to protect him through prayer. With a heavenly name like Balthis, baby will always feel safe and sound! It's also a rare gem in Switzerland because saint names recognized by the Catholic Church were less popular after the Reformation, helping little Balthis to stand out on the playground.
