Rassie, of Afrikaans origin, is a unique and distinctive given name. Derived from the Dutch surname Ras, it translates to "graceful" or "elegant," reflecting the refined nature often associated with its bearers. Although not particularly common in English-speaking countries, Rassie has been used as a first name, primarily among South African families with Dutch ancestry. It is more frequently encountered as a diminutive of the given name Rasmus, which is also of Dutch origin and means "greatest." In some cases, Rassie may be considered a variant spelling of the English name Russell, derived from the Old French surname Roûssel, meaning "little red one." Despite its varied origins, Rassie maintains a distinct identity as an attractive, uncommon name choice for boys.
"The name Rassie appeared five times in birth records during the year 1916."
