Dustan
Dustan Origin and Meaning
Dustan is a masculine name with medieval origins, representing a variant spelling of the more common Dustin. Derived from the Old Norse 'Þórsteinn' (Thorstein) or possibly from an Anglo-Saxon surname that meant 'stone of the throne', the name traveled through Norman England where it eventually evolved into Dustin and variants like Dustan. This particular spelling appears occasionally throughout history but remains less common than Dustin, which saw significant popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. Dustan carries the rugged, earthy associations of its more familiar counterpart while offering a slightly distinctive spelling that harkens back to its ancient origins.
