Last name origins & meanings:
- Hungarian: from a short form of Ballabás, variant of
the personal name Barnabás (see Barnaby).
- Italian: from balla, which in its earliest sense meant
‘dance’ but from the 14th century was used to denote ‘goods packed for
transport’, ‘bale’, ‘bundle (of merchandise)’ and was hence probably a
metonymic occupational name for a carrier.
