Hello!

I don't know the name Kassmeier, but the prefix could really come from the word for cheese. There is another surname "Kässbohrer / Käsbohrer" (both spelling variations are quite common) which means "one who makes and sells cheese".

Or it can come from the town name of Kassel in Hesse, from Cassel (in Rhineland-Palatinate) or Kassen (in Moravia)????

Regards, Judith
