Etymology

[edit]

From earlier Hast, of uncertain origin, with some theories including:

  • from a derivative of Latin hasta (lance), referring to a battle that took place here, or some other use of the lance as a tool.[1]
  • from a combination of two personal names, Aner (compare Ancient Greek ἀνήρ (anḗr)) and Aster.[2]
  • from Basque ast (rock), which seems unlikely given the physical terrain of the area.
