Aase

Originally a short form for names containing the Old Norse element áss meaning "god" or one of the Æsir, Aase is now used as a full name in its own right. Familiar in Denmark and Norway, it appears in Henrik Isben's play, Peer Gynt.

Said as O-seh or AWE-seh, depending on accent and region, alternative forms include Åsa, Åse, and Ása, which are used across Scandinavia.

Pronounced AH-sa.
