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

The history of the distinguished English surname Dustman 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 Dustman make it likely that the surname emerged independently in different English counties, thus creating several different branches of the Dustman family during the Middle Ages.
