Brassel Family History
- Brassel Name Meaning
- French: from a variant of Old French bracel ‘bracelet’. French: from a derivative of Old French brace, a measure of length equivalent to two outstretched arms, hence probably a metonymic occupational name for someone whose job involved taking measurements. German: nickname for a glutton, from Swabian prasslen ‘to indulge or feast’.
