The surname Hairstans has its origins in Ireland and is believed to be of Gaelic origin. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó hEireastáin, which translates to "descendant of Eireastán."
The Gaelic name Eireastán is derived from the personal name Eireamhón, which means "to rise, to ascend." It is likely that the original bearer of the surname was an individual whose personal name was Eireamhón, and over time, this name became a hereditary surname.
The surname Hairstans is most commonly found in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland, particularly in the counties of Antrim and Down. This suggests that the original bearers of the name were likely from this region.
During the period of English colonization and the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, many Irish families were displaced and their lands were given to English and Scottish settlers. It is possible that some individuals with the surname Hairstans may have been part of this migration, either as settlers or as displaced Irish families.
Today, the surname Hairstans is relatively rare and is mainly found in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
