Uncovering the History of Hiestand - A German Occupational Name

Hiestand is a German occupational name for a high steward or administrator. It is derived from the Middle High German words "hi" meaning "high" and "stand" meaning "standing". The name was originally used to refer to someone who held a high position of authority, such as a steward or manager of an estate or a castle. Over time, the name has been adapted and anglicized, and it is now found in many different forms, including Hightstead, Hiestand, Hysted, and others.
