proper noun/as/
a small village in Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, France
Related: aastais, Aastais
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. * from a combination of two personal names, Aner (compare Ancient Greek ἀνήρ (anḗr)) and Aster. * from Basque ast (“rock”), which seems unlikely given the physical terrain of the area.
