Prasse Name Variations
The original is Prasse and its German pronunciation is prah'_suh. During the Thirty Years War, 1618 to 1648, there was apparently a German soldier named Prasse who settled in western France (Alsace-Lorraine area). The Prasse family religion was protestant (Lutheran), however, a Catholic part of the family began. To distinguish the Catholic side from the protestant side, an extra "e" was added making the Catholics, Prassee. The pronunciation also changed to prah_say'.In America, various government bureaucrats have written the name in official records as Prosse, Prass, Prassee, Prassey, Prassa, Pressa, Presse, Prossa, and even spellings like Brasse. So far, there are three "official" pronunciations used by the family. They are prah'_suh, prah'_see, and prass'_ey.
