Baers

Baers is a surname of Germanic origin that appears in various European languages and in North America.

Historically, Baers surnames are found in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, with diaspora communities in the United States, Canada, and Australia resulting from immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries.
