Bas means low or bottom (location or quality) in French. But the s is silent.

Originally posted by Frenkieee Yes. Sebastiaan, Bastiaan, Bas. Bastiaan is rather uncommon, Sebastiaan is a bit more common but Bas is the most common. I got several friends that are called Bas. One Sebastiaan and no Bastiaan. It's tricky to write it phonetically in English though, I guess indeed Boz comes closest.

Really? I only know the name Bastiaan because it's the name of the guy who wrote that book I posted. And I know no Sebastiaans... though, of course, I know very few Dutch people

Anyway, Bas, in several languages, according to the Wiktionary:

• Crimean Tatar: Bass
  
• Dutch: Imperative of "bassen" (To bark)
  
• French: Low, Bass, Stocking
  
• Polish: Bass
  
• Scottish Gaelic: Palm
  
• Slovene: Bass
  
• Swedish: base; foundation; (mathematics) base, basis; a set of vectors which span a certain space
  (mathematics) base; the lower, horizontal line in a triangle or the horizontal plane in a cone, pyramid etc;(chemistry) base; alkali; (molecular biology, colloquial) nucleotide in the context of a DNA or RNA polymer; bass guitar; permanent structure for housing a military
  
• Turkish: Imperative of "basmak" (to press)

writing arabic phonetically in english is always fucking weird, especially since arabic has many letters and sounds that you will never able to properly spell.

and fuck you and the horse you rode in on and your shawarma tastes like horse-shit.
