what's the difference between Baccarat and chemin de fer and faro?

The word Baccarat is derived from the Italian word baccara , meaning zero, and refers to the zero value given to all of the face cards and tens.

Each player, including the dealer, may bet on either Punto or Banco. Players may elect to pass the ' Shoe '(dealing deck) to the next player. The shoe remains with one player as long as the Bank wins. If Punto wins, the shoe passes on to the next player.

Two hands are dealt and you bet which one will win, or that they will tie. Winning in Baccarat is just like betting on Black or Red at roulette, and the payoff is even money, 1:1 (except for the standoff, which pays 8-1 or 9-1).

So is this the same as faro?

So faro is just an anglicized name?

I know there are several variations with the game of Baccarat, but I'm wondering specifically about Chemin de Fer and playing it at home with friends. There are three accepted variants of the Game: baccarat chemin de fer, baccarat banque, and punto banco (or North American baccarat). Punto banco is strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved; each player's moves are forced by the cards the player is dealt.
