History & Origin
Dustina is a feminine form of Dustin, the English rendering of the Old Norse Thorsteinn, 'the stone of Thor.' Adding -ina to a popular boy's name was a common way to coin a girl's name in the twentieth century, and Dustina followed that pattern.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high point around the mid-nineteen-seventies, then fading over the following decades. A girl named Dustina then is in her early fifties today, placing it in the Gen X cohort.
