Krase Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Krase, so the heraldry linked to Krause is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

In parish registers, Krase often stands in for Krause. Taken at its root, Krase points to “Curly-haired”.

Before spelling was fixed, Krause was also written Krase. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written. The same family of names includes Krauser, Kraus and Krauss. 292 Americans were listed as Krase in the 2010 census. Names that sound alike, such as Kruse, are easily confused in old records.
