quist means "twig" according to the website below. I searched for the surname that I know with that suffix, namely Lindquist.

As far as swedish sir names go what does the suffix quist mean?
Quist -also written kvist -can in addition to twig mean branch.


In addition to being used as a name by itself it is a part of innumerable family names like Grankvist=spruce branch/twig, Tallquist/kvist =pine branch/ twig and so on.
