Haster Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an occupation. Probably the old 'Hayrester' or 'Hairster.' Halliwell says' Hayre, a garment made of goat's hair. Hayrester, a maker of hayres.' 'Hayresters, workers in horsehair' (York Mysteries, Toulmin Smith). Cecile in the Second Nunne's Tale was thus dressed: 'Under hire robe of gold, that fat ful faire, Had next her flesh, yeald hire in an haire.'
Again:
'Ne she was gay, fresh, ne joliffe, But seemed to be full ententife To goode workes, and to faire, And thereto she had on an haire.': Rom. of. Rose.
The hair garment was seemingly worn for mortification of the flesh by nuns and other religious persons. In the York Mysteries the 'Tumours, Hayresters, and Boilers' (i.e. Bowlers, makers of bowls) went together. Therefore the hairster may have also occupied himself in hair-stuffing of couches and saddles; a kind of upholsterer in fact, since the other two were undoubtedly engaged in wood-work.
(a) Occup.; v. Hastiler. Old French hasteur, a hastiler, one who superintended the roasts.
A spelling of Esther. See Female Christian Names.
