Dusty settlement or Thors stone
Duston is a variant of the English surname and place name Dustin. It likely derives from an Old Norse personal name meaning 'Thor's stone' or an Old English locational name referring to a 'dusty settlement'. While less common than the 'Dustin' spelling, it retains the same rugged, outdoorsy appeal.
