Wieste

Wieste is a relatively uncommon German surname. It is believed to be of Frisian origin, and its etymology is likely linked to personal or place names containing the element "Wiet," possibly denoting "white" or referring to a meadow or pasture. Variations in spelling, such as Wiest, Wiestje, and others, are also found within the Frisian region and areas where Frisian communities migrated. Further research into historical Frisian records and genealogical databases would be necessary to pinpoint the exact origin and meaning of the name with greater certainty.
