Tustin (surname)
Tustin is a surname derived from the Old Norse name Þórsteinn like Dustin,[1] through a Latinized form Tustinus, itself a variant of Turstinus, which Latinizes the Old Norman name To[r]stein, Tu[r]stin[2] (now surnames Tostain, Toustain, Toutain).[3] This Old Norse name, like Thorsten, is composed of the elements Thor (Þorr) and stein (steinn) "stone" together.[1][4]

- George Tustin (1889–1968), Canadian politician
