Guez is attested as a surname in professional tennis through David Guez. The ATP Tour’s player records identify him by this exact spelling and record a career-high singles ranking of 116, reached in July 2010. This offers a specific sporting reference for the name. The tennis record does not explain the surname’s history, pronunciation, or linguistic origin, so those questions remain separate from the documented namesake.
