Bellus is Latin in Origin.
Bellus is a Latin given name taken from the adjective bellus, meaning “pretty, handsome, charming,” and by extension “agreeable” or “fine.” The root became a cornerstone of Romance vocabulary, producing Italian and Spanish bello, Portuguese belo, French beau/bel, and Catalan bell.
As a personal name, Bellus appears sporadically as a Late Latin cognomen and is echoed in medieval forms such as Bello/Belló (e.g., Belló of Carcassonne, 8th–9th century). Humanist taste later revived -us endings, so Bellus surfaces in ecclesiastical and scholarly records but remains rare today. Variants and cognates include Bello (Italian/Spanish), Belo (Portuguese), Belló (Catalan), Bellino/Bellina (Italian diminutives), Bella/Belle (feminine), and Beau (French/English). Do not confuse Bellus with Belus (one l), a separate classical name from the Semitic Bel.
Bellus is extremely rare. There are only 18 recorded uses on record, spread over 12 countries.
