searching Google.com i only found three hits with the word weister in German-language sites. All three were mistypes of the German word weiter and far from surnames. Adding to that, i did get hits in the United States, Norway and many Dutch sites. Not far from where I live there is a village called Wijster ('ij' and 'ei' are the same sound in Dutch and often interchangeable) and i found a volleyball club from Leerdam called 'De Weister', so it is a word in Dutch, but extremely rare and i have no idea of the meaning. One tip i could give. You could send an e-mail to the volleyball club in which you ask them if they know where they got the name from, i.e. the meaning of it.

But, the most hits i got in Swedish sites, and it were surnames Weister of Swedish people. I really don't know the meaning, but if you'd ask me, i'd say it is a Swedish surname and not German.
