    Irish (Ulster), Welsh, Cornish, and Scottish: from an Anglicized form of the epithet glas ‘slate colored, gray’, or any of various Gaelic surnames derived from it.

    German: from an altered form of the personal name Klass, a shortened form of Nikolaus (see Nicholas ). This surname is also found in France (Alsace and Lorraine).
