Hustis
Etymology of a surname, already transwikied to Wiktionary. There are no Hustisses (Hustises?) to disambiguate or redirect to. --Cryptic (talk) 11:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Etymology. It's also weird.  "Hustis" is more Americanized than "Eustis?"  Uhhh, ok, but that follows none of the usual rules. Geogre 12:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Deletion policy/names and surnames. If the alleged connection between Hustis and Eustis is confirmed, however, I would say to redirect to Eustis, an drop a line in that disambig stating something like that "Eustis is a surname, and Hustis is a variation thereof." -- BD2412 talk 14:20, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
 * Comment: Since in Greek an /h/ is merely an aspiration mark and, in general, /h/ is not a consonant, it's quite likely for an "Herb/herb" divergence to take place, but it's just as likely that they're separate words from separate languages. It's just not logically necessary for one to be from the other, and "Americanizing" names doesn't usually involve aspirating their initial vowels. Geogre 17:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
