Dunstan Meaning

From the Old English elements dun "dark" and stan "stone". This name was borne by a 10th-century saint, the archbishop of Canterbury. It was occasionally used in the Middle Ages, though it died out after the 16th century. It was revived by the Tractarian movement in the 19th century. Dunstan is an English name of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the Old English words “dunn” which means brown and “stan” which means stone.
