Kastner

The first known bearer of the name today was Hans Kastner († 1102), patrician to Amberg.

Other spellings are Castner and Kastener, Czech borrowed Kasnar. Emigrants to North America have the spelling partly Americanized in Costner, Cosner and Chostner. Whether the surname Kastner 's just a regional other expression, or derived from the profession of carpenter (box maker), is assessed differently.
