English. It is an old English name, uncommon but dating back to 7th century England. It sometimes is also spelled as 'Backs' or 'Bax'. In the version with the s (-sound) at the end it originally means 'son of Bacca', while Back itself simply means Bacca. Bacca was basically a nickname, developed from the ancient English word Baec, meaning someone with a prominent facial feature, like the chin or nose.
