It was chosen as a surname from a small river in Sweden, Hedstrommen. Hed is the swedish rendering for heath, and strommen for stream or brook, so it refers to a small river that flowed through an uncultivated land. Heath further can be traced to the old German nickname "heiden" for "pagan," rendered in medieval documents in the Latin form paganus. The nickname was sometimes used to refer to a Christian knight who had been on a Crusade to wrest the Holy Land from the Muslims. The name was also adopted by Ashkenazic Jews.
