A person from the marshy area
Trask is a rare English surname-turned-given-name derived from the Old Norse word 'throskr', referring to a marsh or swamp. It originally served as a topographic name for someone who lived near such a landscape. In a modern context, it is appreciated for its sharp, single-syllable sound and rugged appeal.
