The history of the last name Quasebarth

The surname Quasebarth is believed to have originated in the north-central region of Germany, with the earliest records dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to derive from the Low German words "quasel" meaning "chatter" or "babble" and "bart" meaning "beard," suggesting a possible occupational origin for a talkative or chatty person.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name is found in the church records of the town of Rostock, in present-day Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, where a Johann Quasebarth was listed as a resident in 1587. The name also appears in the records of the nearby town of Güstrow, with an entry for a Hans Quasebarth in 1612.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the name spread to other parts of northern Germany, with variations in spelling such as Quasebart, Quasebar, and Quasebarthen appearing in various parish and municipal records. Notable bearers of the name during this period include Friedrich Quasebarth (1638-1701), a Lutheran pastor and theologian from Mecklenburg, and Johann Quasebarth (1722-1795), a merchant and landowner from the city of Hamburg.

As the German population began to emigrate to other parts of the world in the 19th century, the Quasebarth surname traveled with them. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name in the United States is found in the 1850 census, which lists a family of Quasebarths living in the town of Watertown, Wisconsin.

1. Karl Quasebarth (1865-1932), a German painter and illustrator known for his depictions of rural life in Mecklenburg.

3. Friedrich Quasebarth (1897-1945), a German soldier and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II.
4. Erwin Quasebarth (1903-1977), a German-American film producer and director who worked in Hollywood during the 1940s and 1950s.
