The history of the last name Taase

The surname Taase has its origins in the Netherlands, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Dutch word "taas," which means a bundle or a bundle of straw. This suggests that the name may have originally referred to an occupation or profession related to handling or working with bundles of straw or other materials.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Taase surname can be found in the Dutch city of Leiden's municipal records from the late 1500s. The name also appears in the baptismal records of several churches in the provinces of South Holland and North Holland during this period.
