Etymology of MeiseWhat does the name Meise mean? The German surname Meise, and its variants are of occupational origin, belonging to the category of surnames derived from the trade or profession pursued by the initial bearer. In this case, the name is derived from the Middle High German word "meizel" meaning "chisel", a derivative of the verb "meizen" meaning "to chop or cut". Thus the name indicates "one who used a chisel in his daily word, a wood or stone cutter". Alternatively, the name also denotes "one who made and sold chisels". Early Origins of the Meise familyThe surname Meise was first found in Austria, where the family was anciently associated with the political and religious conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region.
