This name is found in the H.R. and may be the Anglo-Norman cas, chance, hazard-probably with reference to the character, or some incident in the life, of the first person who bore it. So Hazard has become a family name. A family in Devonshire thus designated account for it by a tradition that, about two hundred years since, a foundling was laid at the door of a certain gentleman, to whom popular scandal attributed its paternity; the gentleman denied the allegation, but from motives of humanity had the infant taken care of, and, from the circumstance of its having been enclosed in a packing-case, imposed upon the poor foundling this curious appellation. The French case, from Latin casa, a mean house, cottage, or hut, is, however, a more likely etymon.
(French.) Case. A hut, a hovel; Gaelic, cass, caise, steep; quick, hasty, passionate.
From the Frisian, Kassen, from Christian; i.e., Kristjan, Kersten, Karsten, Karsen, Kasjen, Kassen; from the Danish, Kasten; from the Swedish, Cassen; from the Dutch, Carsten; from the Flemish, Kastan, Casen, Cason; in the Domesday Book, Cassa; a personal name.
There was a family of Case in Swaffham 200 years ago, and the name is still in the town; the rector of Erpingham in 1628 bore this name. Philip Case was mayor of Lynn in 1764; and early last century, Mr. Case, attorney, of Mildenhale, Suffolk, held property in Holm - by - the - Sea (Bl.). This name occurred in Suffolk in the time of Edward I. (H. R.).
