The Bachus name was originally an Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a worker at the bake-house. The bake-house was where all the people in a village would bake their bread in communal ovens.

| Bachus migration to the United States | + |
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Bachus were among those contributors:
Bachus Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- Henry Bachus, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1774
Bachus Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- John Bachus, aged 23, who landed in Washington, DC in 1813 [6]

Some of the first settlers of this family name were: Bachus Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century- Mr. George Bachus, aged 3 who was emigrating through Grosse Isle Quarantine Station, Quebec aboard the ship "Juliet" departing 3rd July 1847 from London, England; the ship arrived on 28th August 1847 but he died on board [7]
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Confido in Deo
Motto Translation: I trust in God.
