Sigh...
Sturtevant. English: apparently a nickname for a hasty individual, from Middle English stert(en) ‘to start or leap’ + Anglo-Norman French avaunt ‘forward’.
Spelling variations of Sturtevant include: Stuyvesant, Steuvesant, Steubesand, Stòvesand, Stöwsand, Tuveson, Ruveson, Sturtevant and many more.
Sturtevants were found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Sturtevant families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1920 there were 154 Sturtevant families living in Massachusetts. This was about 22% of all the recorded Sturtevant’s in the USA. Massachusetts had the highest population of Sturtevant families in 1920.
Samuel Sturtevant settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1642
Mary Sturtevant settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1642

Fast forward to 2019 - Sturtevant replaced with Ghazala Hashmi. 350 years of tradition getting wiped out before our very eyes.
Hashmi never one time said she was a Muslim. I’m not sure I believe she is. More garbage from the press.
It looks like Virginia has sealed her fate.
