The history of the last name Lasee

The surname LASEE has its origins in France, tracing back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the French word "la-see," which means "the dry" or "the arid." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who lived in a dry or arid region.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the LASEE surname can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Normandy, a collection of financial records from the Duchy of Normandy dating back to the late 12th century. These records mention a person named Reginald Lasee, who was likely a landowner or taxpayer in the region.

In the 13th century, the LASEE surname appeared in various medieval documents across northern France, particularly in the regions of Picardy and Normandy. During this time, variations in spelling, such as Lassee and Lasse, were common due to the inconsistencies in record-keeping and regional dialects.

Jean LASEE (c. 1420-1498) was a notable figure from this period, a French merchant and landowner who played a significant role in the textile trade between France and England. His name is documented in several business transactions and property records from the late 15th century.

In the 16th century, the LASEE surname gained prominence in the region of Brittany, where it was associated with several noble families. One such family was the LASEE de Kerhorent, who owned large estates and held positions of power in local governance.

Moving into the 17th century, the LASEE surname spread across Europe as a result of migration and trade. Jacques LASEE (1602-1673), a French Huguenot, fled to the Netherlands during the religious persecution of Protestants in France. He and his descendants played a significant role in the Dutch Reformed Church and left a lasting impact on the country's cultural and religious landscape.

Pierre LASEE (1725-1801) was a French explorer and cartographer who accompanied several expeditions to the Americas in the late 18th century. His detailed maps and records of the Mississippi River Valley and the Great Lakes region were instrumental in the exploration and settlement of these areas.

As the name LASEE spread throughout Europe and beyond, it continued to be associated with notable individuals in various fields. For example, August LASEE (1840-1912) was a German-American politician and businessman who served as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and played a pivotal role in the development of the state's timber industry.
