Is Haase a Spanish last name?
Hase is the German word for hare, it would follow that the surname is German. See the related question below.___Yes. Although many people think that Haase is a German last name, it is actually a Spanish name originated in Puerto Rico/Spain. Germans may have the name, but it is Puerto Rico/Spain where the ancestors of the Germans with that name must have come from. Most Haase are Puerto Rican, others might be white.___A different answer:No, it is not a Spanish name. The name Haase is a German surname derived from the word Hase. In German it is pronounced (Hah-zeh) as there are no silent letters in the German language.The name means "hare" or "of the hare". A hare is a large rabbit. In English, it is not uncommon to hear the name pronounced with a silent E (Hahss).It has been speculated that the name was chosen to describe the trade of the family (not uncommon for surnames among many nationalities), and that Haase may indicate professions ranging from a butcher (slaughtering or raising rabbit) to a royal messenger for King Charlemagne in the 700/800s AD (carrying messages "quick like a rabbit")...again, purely speculation.This name is not Spanish or Puerto Rican in origin...it is a German-originated name. Anyone who has this name will always have either direct German heritage or be indirectly of German descent.But, to explain the surname Haase, as it pertains to individuals of Puerto Rican descent: there was an influx of German immigrants to Puerto Rico in the early 19th century. Of the surnames listed among those of the first German immigrants to the island, Haase was a prominent one.There is more information on the website in the related links section below that is interesting for Puerto Ricans with German last names. It is also well cited. It is not uncommon to find German names in Central America, South America, and the nearby islands, as many Germans either immigrated to, or had plantations in, these areas for the better part of the last 120 years or so.Please also see the other related link to a website that cites literature pertaining, but not limited, to German influence in Guatemala.This will hopefully help clear up some confusion, as well as provide some readers an insight into their own heritage.In addition, to respond directly to the comment above that, "Most Haase are Puerto Rican, others might be white," the color of your skin does not always directly correlate with the many aspects of your heritage, it is more a matter of genetics and chance. And, as previously explained, most Haases are not Puerto Rican, nor is their name of Spanish origin.Please also refer to the website link below for information about the Haase family crest. You'll find a plethora of information available about your Haase heritage there. For further research on this information, look among historical documents and immigration records, which are readily available for genealogical reference.A surname, like mine of Haase, can be a great source of pride.
