Nassau (Germany), former German duchy, later part of the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau, and now largely in the state of Hesse, Germany.
The family of Nassau, the elder branch of which reigned over Nassau until 1866, dates from the 10th century.
In 1544, William I, a member of the younger branch, inherited the French principality of Orange and later became the first stadtholder of the Netherlands.
Nassau is on the island of New Providence and was probably first settled in the 1660s.
However, this is not a result of the old Gypsy term, but the result of the fact that in the early 19th century Nassau, Germany, provided free meals for its college students abroad.
However, we the people of Nassau – no matter which one, Bahamas or Germany – should always remember that it can only be people from outside of Nassau who can be guilty of being guilty of being "Nassauvians" in the bad sense.
