Baez is a proper noun, typically a surname, pronounced as a single-syllable surname or two-syllable variation depending on language exposure. In English contexts you’ll most often hear /ˈbaɪ.ɛz/ or /ˈbeɪ.ɪz/, reflecting Spanish-origin surnames that commonly render the final -ez as an /-ez/ or /-eɪz/ ending. The name carries cultural identity and is used mainly as a family name or in references to notable individuals bearing the name.
