Raabe
The last name Raabe specifically originates from Prussia, derived from a Prussian warrior clans' symbol: a Raven, which was one of the four beasts of war. During Prussia's decimation, most of these warriors intermarried with the Danish, and slowly made their way to Germany and Austria. The last name "Rabe", however, originates in Germany. Rabe also means Raven. Recent historical bearers of the name "Raabe" may refer to:
