Proper name

IPA: /bákʰ.kʰos/, /ˈβak.xos/, /ˈvak.xos/, /bákʰ.kʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈbak.kʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβak.xos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈvak.xos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈvak.xos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Related to Latin bacca (“pearl, beard, olive-berry, berry”); both possibly derive from the name of a Thracian fertility god. Payne claims a derivation from Lydian 𐤡𐤠𐤨𐤦 (paki), the name of a Lydian god seen as equivalent to Dionysus.
