Etymology

The place name in input transformation is derived from the Old English tribal name Hæstingas, meaning "Hæsta's people", "the family/followers of Hæsta", which was later transferred to their settlement.

The family name has two possible sources:

• from the place name
• a patronymic surname derived from the Anglo-Norman personal name Hasten(c), Hastang

The later place names in other countries are named either after people with that family name, or after the town of Hastings in England.
