Thurston Name Meaning and Origin
Thurston is of Old English origin, derived from the elements Þunor (meaning “thunder”) and stān (meaning “stone”). It originally referred to a “stone of thunder” or “thunderstone,” a term which likely symbolized a powerful or significant stone, possibly referring to a sacred or ancient rock. The name has historically been used as both a given name and a surname. In terms of gender, Thurston is predominantly used as a masculine name. It gained some fame in the 19th and early 20th centuries but remains relatively rare today. The name suggests strength and vitality, drawing from its thunder-related roots.
