Surprising to me, despite being an old word, "Joist" doesn't seem to be a common surname. We got all sorts of ones from all sorts of trades - plumbers, masons, carpenters, shoemakers, etc., - but seldom building hardware - not a lot of families named Bricks, Mortars, Studs, Screws, etc. Obviously with today's prolific use of hyphens the Screw-Stud clan can't phone in a hotel reservation in a place that doesn't have hourly rates.
