"Her name says it all" ...hatred (Germ. Hass) [Yonatan]

Yes, the family name "Hass" has German origin but it has nothing to do with hatred.

The name "Hass" (also "Haas","Hess") is derived from people living in Hessen (a country/tribe in Germany). The highest density of the name is in Northern Germany and Hessen itself.(http://christoph.stoepel.net/Geogen.aspx).
