Tauxe

Tauxe is a surname of French Swiss origin, with perhaps 40 or so individuals extant (in the United States) still bearing it. Many more Tauxes exist in the environs of Lausanne, Switzerland. It originated as a yeoman line in the 15th century, probably deriving its move to the bourgeousie from involvement in revenue operations ('taux' is French for 'tax' or 'tell' as in 'bank teller').
