Dusten

Dusten is a respelling of Dustin, a masculine name with Old Norse origins. Derived from Þórstæinn, Dusten translates to “Thor’s stone” and may have been a habitational surname for those from a once famous ritual site. In England, Thurstaston Hill is where you can find Thor’s Stone—a place steeped in legend dating back to early Viking settlers. Thor is the Norse god of thunder, lightning, and protection who continues to be an icon in media and culture around the world. Dusten is a subtle nod to a rich and colorful branch of spirituality that still survives today in many communities.
