name

Etymology: The placename in England is derived from the Old English tribal name Hæstingas (“Hæsta's people, the family/followers of Hæsta”), which was later transferred to their settlement. The family name has two possible sources: * from the place name * a patronymic surname derived from the Anglo-Norman personal name Hasten(c), Hastang The later place names in other countries are named either after people with that family name, or after the town of Hastings in England.
