Not to me. Doesn't make any sense in Dutch anyway.

It could be a corruption of the name "Muttersbaugh".
Here's some info I found on the surname "Baugh":
The surname "Baugh" is of English origin. However, especially before 1800,
German surnames were routinely anglicized. Barth became Beard, Zimmerman
became Carpenter, and Bach became Baugh. Thus there are two groups of Baughs
in the United States. Probably the more numerous are Baughs of English
origin, largely descended from early settlers in Virginia. Many of these
Baughs migrated to various parts of the South. Of German Bachs, some kept
the original spelling, some changed to "Back," and one family in particular
changed to Baugh.

Sounds to me like an Anglo-Saxon type of name.

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. So by that Motherbaugh
is a DEVO name.

it's a rough translation of the phrase "a mother's arms". as in, "safe
as a babe in..."

But in which language?

What kind of name is Casale? I would think Spanish or possibly Swiss.
