Name Meaning
Altered form of a French surname, probably Requier: from a derivative of the Old French verb requerir ‘to request, to require’, hence a nickname for someone who requests something. The surname Requa, probably of the same origin, is also found in Germany, where it is very rare.
History: The American Requas trace their origin to Gabriel Requa, a French Huguenot who left France as a child prior to 1682 and went first to England and then, in 1689, to North America. His name is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America.
