| Domain | Definition |
Computing | Baud /bawd/ n. [simplified from its technical meaning] n. Bits per second. Hence kilobaud or Kbaud, thousands of bits per second. The technical meaning is `level transitions per second'; this coincides with bps only for two-level modulation with no framing or stop bits. Most hackers are aware of these nuances but blithely ignore them. Historical note: `baud' was originally a unit of telegraph signalling speed, set at one pulse per second. It was proposed at the November, 1926 conference of the Comite' Consultatif International Des Communications Te'le'graphiques as an improvement on the then standard practice of referring to line speeds in terms of words per minute, and named for Jean Maurice Emile Baudot (1845-1903), a French engineer who did a lot of pioneering work in early teleprinters.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In telecommunications, the Baud is a measure of symbols transmitted per second in a modulated signal. It is named after Emile Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot code for telegraphy.
The term "baud" is sometimes misused to refer to "bits per second"; though it is possible for one event to carry one bit, it is more common to make more efficient use of bandwidth by transferring several bits in one event. Thus, a 2400-bit/s modem actually transmits at 600 baud, where each quadrature amplitude modulation event carries four bits of information.
A small note: When a search is done on "baud" at dictionary.com, there is a definition and example there that states that 1 baud can equal anywhere from 1 bit to 16 bits of data per cycle.
