Pauz

Pauz is a term with multiple uses in different languages and contexts. It can function as a surname in some European naming traditions; in such cases it is usually very rare and may have variants such as Pauza, Pausa, or Pauze depending on locale. The etymology is not well established in public sources, and the surname is not strongly linked to a single cultural origin.

In linguistic and writing contexts, pauz often appears as a variant or transliteration of the English word pause. In informal transcription, chat slang, or online text in multilingual settings, pauz can be used to indicate a pause or lag in speech.

In other uses, pauz has appeared in fictional or commercial contexts as a brand name or product label; however, there is no single widely recognized entity by that name in mainstream reference works.

Pauz should not be confused with similar terms such as pause, pausa, or pauza, which have broader attested use in many languages.
