Re: Help, what does the surname "Krause" mean?
Hi Tarryn,

Krause is a German surname meaning 'with curly hair'. It comes from the Middle High German word 'krus' which means curly. There are some variations of that name like e.g. Kraus Krauß Krauss Krauße Krausse Kruse.

My name is Jonathan Krause, obviously, and would like to say something I'm sure many people have now said, "I too have curly hair!" This is quite humorous to me obviously, and I hope it is to you as well.

Thanks for the info! I was going to ask about my family's variation of the same name!
