Etymology
The excerpts do not give a true origin statement for Sasser; they only list it among many surnames or vocabulary items.

Modern use in the United States is modest but established, with several thousand bearers recorded in the 2010 census. Beyond that, the surname’s historical development cannot be confidently traced from these excerpts alone.
