Dustin is in Origin.
Dustin is an English given name drawn from a medieval surname that traces back to Old Norse Þórsteinn, “Thor’s stone” (Þórr, the thunder god, + steinn, “stone/rock”). The name traveled through Norman French into England as Turstin/Thurstan; phonetic drift in Middle English produced the surname Dustin, which later migrated into use as a forename. Cognates include Scandinavian Torsten/Thorsten and Old English-influenced Thurstan.
As a family name it appears in English records from the 1200s. As a given name it found broad American favor in the mid-late 20th century, surging in the 1970s–80s, a wave often linked to actor Dustin Hoffman (himself named after silent-film star Dustin Farnum). Usage today is steady in North America and rarer in the UK. Common variants are Dustan, Dusten, Dustyn, with the nickname Dusty; related forms include Torsten/Thorsten and Thurston/Thurstan.
