Baccaus is a modern, rare respelling of Bacchus, the Latin name of the Greco-Roman god of wine and ecstasy, ultimately from Greek Bakkhos (Βάκχος). The underlying etymology is uncertain - possibly pre-Greek - but the name is firmly associated with vines, ivy, revelry, and theatrical inspiration. Because it refers to a deity (cognate with Dionysos), it carries a mythic, exuberant tone rather than a literal dictionary meaning.

As a given name, Baccaus has seen only sporadic use, typically in contemporary, creative naming or as a transfer from surnames. Spellings close to it occur in early modern and colonial records, especially in the Caribbean and British diaspora, where Bacchus/Baccus also functions as a family name. Established variants and cognates include Bacchus (standard English/Latin), Bakkhos (Greek), Baccus and Backus (anglicized surname forms). Parents choose Baccaus for its classical flair and bold, festive symbolism.
