Baros

Baros is a term that can refer to more than one use, including a place name and a surname. The most widely known contemporary association is with Baros Maldives, a luxury resort located on Baros Island in the North Malé Atoll of the Maldives. Baros Island is a private island that hosts the Baros Maldives resort, which is noted for its coral reefs, overwater and garden villas, and a focus on sustainable tourism practices.

Baros is also a surname, most commonly written with a diacritic as Baroš in Czech and Slovak contexts. The name is found in several Central and Eastern European countries. A notable bearer is Milan Baroš, a Czech professional footballer who has played for clubs in Europe and for the Czech national team. In these contexts, the surname is typically treated as part of a personal name rather than a place or organization.

Other uses of the term Baros may appear as part of place names or personal names in different languages, but no additional widely recognized meanings are established outside these contexts.
