Can anyone tell me about the surname "Kraase?"

I have an ancestor that doesn't follow the Danish custom of the patronymic pattern. The lineage is: Peder Kristensen 1789-1899, Jens Pedersen Kraase 1815-1894, then Mette Marie Jensen 1813-1850. So, where does "Kraase" come from?

    Hi Ann

    The word Kraase originates from the Latin word Crassus meaning "gross"of "coarse, in German the word literally means "blatant" or "stark" .If you think something is really fantastic it can be described as Krass the same for dreadful. The word Kraase comes from Estonia
