Chościsko's name is probably derived from a simplified pronunciation of the word Hastingsko derived from the term Hasding (meaning long-haired) which was difficult to pronounce in Old Slavonic. The other analysis suggests that Chościsko's name is probably derived from chost or chwost meaning tail in old Slavic.
