The name that is transliterated as “Blastus” in English means “sprout,” “sucker,” “bud.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines the signs for “plant” (see the meaning of the Greek name) and that for “help,” because he was the intermediary through whom the people had access to the king. (Source: Missão Kophós )
