geus

Geus is a surname of Dutch origin that is found in the Netherlands, Belgium, and among Dutch-speaking communities around the world. The exact etymology is not definitively established; as with many Dutch surnames, it may derive from a given name or from a nickname, and it has persisted through centuries of records.

Geus appears in historical records from the late Middle Ages and remains in use today. In onomastic literature, it is described as a short, simple surname with a distribution concentrated in the Low Countries and among emigrant communities in North America and elsewhere.

Geus is not the name of a widely recognized geographic location, and there are no major institutions or cultural products universally identified by that single term. In contemporary contexts, Geus primarily appears as a surname in genealogical or biographical materials and, less commonly, as part of organizational or corporate names where it denotes a family connection or provenance.
