Info. below is from ancestry.com - According to their database HAYSE is a variant of HAYS or HAYES...lots of possible meaning are listed below.

Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hAodha ‘descendant of Aodh’, a personal name meaning ‘fire’ (compare McCoy). In some cases, especially in County Wexford, the surname is of English origin (see below), having been taken to Ireland by the Normans.

English: habitational name from any of various places, for example in Devon and Worcestershire, so called from the plural of Middle English hay ‘enclosure’ (see Hay 1), or a topographic name from the same word.

English: habitational name from any of various places, for example in Dorset, Greater London (formerly in Kent and Middlesex), and Worcestershire, so called from Old English h?se ‘brushwood’, or a topographic name from the same word.

English: patronymic from Hay 3.

French: variant (plural) of Haye 3.

Jewish (Ashkenazic): metronymic from Yiddish name Khaye ‘life’ + the Yiddish possessive suffix -s.

Answer 2

offhand, I'd wager that it is nothing more than a variation on Hayes. A possibility is that John Hayes, a farmer, went to the courthouse to have his land recorded, the clerk wrote down what he thought to be "correct" and the rest was history. Correct spelling is not a critical factor, as we think of it today. The goal is to clarify the relationship. You need to keep a flexible mind in looking at the records. Especially when online, when the computer only "hits" what you type in. Your record(s) could well be in front of your nose, but sometimes it takes pulling up the actual list (for example) and reading it. Especially in older records.. EXPECT to find 2 or even more spellings of the name, but all may refer to exactly the same person.

Beware of coat of arms peddlers.

You have a link to a coat of arm peddlers. There are no laws in the United States regarding heraldry and there are companies peddling them based only on your surname without documented proof that you are entitled to it. It is not illegal but very dishonest.

Not everyone with the same surname comes from the same root. Many coats of arms have the same name. There are about 200 for the surname Lewis which means about 200 different individuals were granted the coat of arms. This does not mean everyone with the surname Lewis is any way related to any of the 200 granted one much less be a direct descendant of one of the 200 granted one.

A person is free to display one without documented proof but it is like putting up a picture of a famous person with their surname and claiming him as a direct ancestor whether they know he is or not.

Ancestry.Com says it is a variant of Hays or Hayes. They show most immigrants with that name come from Ireland and England. It gives the ports of departure which doesn't mean much.
A lot of Irish left from Liverpool and some Germans were in England prior to immigrating to the U. S.

Answer 4

Actually your answer to my question about Jesus showed a level of misunderstanding that i felt the need to clear up. Caiaphas, and Annas were both afraid that Jesus' teaching of a new Kingdom would spur the Romans into another massacre like had occurred under Pilot just ten years before in Sumeria. They were afraid also of losing their power as priests if Pilot thought they were behind such an insurgency. The Pharisees were not good, but Pilot was not merely a go between. Read the Bible.

Answer 5

The origins you're looking for can only be found by researching your own family history back one generation at a time, not someone else's. No shortcuts.
