Where did the English Doust family come from? What is the English Doust family crest and coat of arms? When did the Doust family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Doust family history?

The history of the distinguished English surname Doust begins before the fateful Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and is derived from the Old English "dust," meaning "dust." This name was probably first bestowed as a nickname, either on someone with pale skin or hair, someone considered to be of little worth, or a laborer.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Dust, Doust and others.

First found in the county of Oxford, where Ulf Dust was recorded as early as 1030. The nickname origins of Doust make it likely that the surname emerged independently in different English counties, thus creating several different branches of the Doust family during the Middle Ages.
