Baul means madcap, from bayu (Sanskrit Vayu) in its sense of nerve current, and has become the appellation of a set of people who do not conform to established social usage. The derivation is supported by the following verse ...:

``That is why, brother, I became a madcap Baul.
No master I obey, nor injunctions, canons or custom.
Now no men-made distinctions have any hold on me,
And I revel only in the gladness of my own welling love.
In love there's no separation, but commingling always.
So I rejoice in song and dance with each and all."

-- Rabindra Nath Tagore
The Hibbert Lecture, Oxford, 1930
