Sorry for assuming you speak Portuguese. My conclusion came from your username "BrasilZero". It carries the word "Brasil" written with an "S", and outside Brazil most people use "Z".

No problem.
Basil is actually one of my two names I use - ironically even though its not my legal name , everyone calls me "Basil" in my family - even my wife.
I remember in my wedding - half of my family were shocked to find out my legal name wasnt Basil lol
Anyways to the origin of my username - I am named after a saint in India (of the church where I was baptized and my family has a long history with) - the saint's name is St. Baselios Yeldho - where is where I got both my legal name "Eldhose" (Yeldho) which means Birth of Christ/Christmas and my nick name "Basil" (Baselios).
Both names are common - I have several family members with both names so whenever we get together, there is usually confusion because multiple people answer when the names are called lol.
Spoiler!
The Sacred tomb of the holy father is a great solace for many; large groups of pilgrims, irrespective of caste and creed come to the church every day seeking his intercession and more particularly on annual feast days and also on every Saturdays. A great number of miracles are happening by the intercession of the holy father. It is a common practise among the parents to name their long awaited sons as ‘Yeldho’ and ‘Basil’, who they believe will be protected by the saint like a guardian angel.

As for the Zero part - I got that from watching one of my most favorite anime - Gundam Wing and the main character's mobile suit - Wing Gundam Zero

Also around the same time as watching Gundam Wing - I was watching Zoids New Century (another one of my most favorite anime) where the main character used his Zoid "Liger Zero"

So I put "Basil" and "Zero together to make BasilZero in the early 2000s.
