Bayless is English.

This is what I found on Palin:
Welsh: Anglicized form of the Welsh patronymic ap Heilyn ‘son of Heilyn’, which is probably a derivative of a word meaning ‘to serve at table’.

English: habitational name from Palling in Norfolk or Poling in Sussex. These were named in Old English with the personal names Palli and Pâl respectively, meaning ‘followers of’, ‘dependants of’.

French: unexplained.

Does that help any?
