Besos means kisses in Spanish. What a cute name!

It's a typo of Bezos. Bezos may be Spanish in origin though, as it's the surname of his Cuban adoptive father.

Yeah Jeff came on vacation to spain and found a distant relative called Bezos too in a small town nearby our capital.

I think he paid them a visit, seen on local tv.

it is quite similar to the Arabic word بوس (Baus). I did some wiki search and found it originates from the latin word beso[1]. Languages are so awesome!
