kaser

Kaser is a surname of German origin derived from the occupational term Käser, meaning cheesemaker. The umlaut form Käser is often rendered as Kaser in non-German contexts, making it an Anglicized or regional variant. The name is found in Germany and Austria and among descendants of emigration to North America, South Africa, and other regions. Bearers of the surname have appeared in a variety of professions, but there is no single dominant public figure associated with it.

Kaser also appears as a place name in German-speaking areas, used for small settlements or localities. As with many toponyms, such names may reflect historical occupations such as dairy farming or other features of the local landscape. Because surnames and place names can overlap, some individuals named Kaser may have ancestral links to places bearing the same name.
