[Surname] Re: KASSMEIER
in reply to a message by C. Sedlak
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
