Baeza is Spanish in Origin.

Baeza is a Spanish toponymic name taken from the historic Andalusian city of Baeza (Jaén). The place-name traces to Latin Biatia/Beatia, later rendered in Arabic as Bayyasa under al‑Andalus, before settling into its modern Castilian form after the Reconquista. As a given name it is modern, rare, and largely gender‑neutral, carrying the sense “from Baeza” or “of Baeza,” rather than a descriptive lexical meaning.

As a surname it appears in medieval and early modern Castilian records and spread widely to the Americas and the Philippines through colonial migration. Today it is most common in Spain, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Variants include de Baeza (locative) and the occasional Vaeza (reflecting historical b/v interchange); Portuguese usage typically keeps the same spelling. Pronounced bah‑EH‑thah in Spain and bah‑EH‑sah in much of Latin America, it appeals within the surname‑as‑first‑name trend.
