My name???

Question

Ok i would like to know, because i have a really weird name, if anyone has the last name "Heistand"?

Answer 1

There is no mention of your name on the UK Electoral Roll, and just two people listed with the spelling Hiestand.  So very uncommon here.

Answer 2

You might like to know the origin of your last name :

Heistand    

Last name origin & meaning:

German: probably an altered spelling of German Hiestand, of uncertain origin and meaning. In Swabian-Bavarian Hie- is often a reduced form of Hieb- or Hüb-, but if this is a variant of Hübstand, the meaning is equally unexplained.

Answer 3

There are 3,850 entries for the surname on

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...

Most of them are dead, though.

http://find.person.superpages.com/

has over 300 live ones in the USA with listed non-cell telephones. It only shows 300 at a time. I didn't limit it to a specific state.

So, you are rare but not unique.

RWWC (the first one) has 41,000+ entries for Pack, by comparison.
