The family name was originally Hiestand. However, the name became corrupted over time, especially in those lines that came to America. English speaking officials apparently had difficulty spelling the name phonetically. Some of the variations include Heistand, Hiestandt, Heiston, Histand, Heastand, Hasting, Heistant, Heaston, Hestant, Histand, Heasting, Hesten, Hestand, Heisten and Hystandt.
