Meaning:
escarpment, rocky cliff
Additional Information:
Baus is also an old Catalan (and later, Spanish) name, since the old languages of the Provençal and Catalan regions were similar. The majority of people with the last name Baus are descendants of emigrees from what is now called Les Baux-de-Provence, most of whom immigrated to the coastal region of Croatia or the Saarland region of Germany.
In old Provençal the 'au' in Baus is pronounced like 'ow' in English (cow, now, how), so that Baus rhymes with 'house,' like the name 'Strauss' is often pronounced.
However, in the U.S., sometimes Baus has been Anglicized and pronounced like 'boss'.
