Meaning and history
This name comes from the English surname Dustin, which was derived from the Old Norse given name Þórsteinn (see Torsten). It was popularized by actor Dustin Hoffman (1937–), who was apparently named after the earlier silent film star Dustin Farnum (1874–1929).
Dustin moved from #689 to #729 for boys between 2024 and 2025. Its highest annual birth count came in 1985, with 10,439 births.
