There are 15 schools in the USA with the word nassau in the name.

The word "Nassau" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance. Nassau is the name of a county in New York, which itself was named after the House of Nassau, a prominent European royal family. This name was adopted to honor the colonial heritage and connections to British and Dutch history, as both major colonial powers held territories in what is now New York. Additionally, using the name of local counties, towns, or notable historical figures for public institutions like schools is a longstanding tradition in the United States, as it helps to foster a sense of community identity and continuity. The prevalence of "Nassau" in school names reflects this pattern and echoes the region's deep historical roots.
