Etymology
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.
