The surname Thurston has a rich history, particularly in Irish descent.
The name Thurston is derived from the Old Norse name "Thorstein," which means "Thor's stone." Thor was the Norse god of thunder and the son of Odin, the chief god in Norse mythology.
The name Thurston first appeared in England following the Norman Conquest in 1066. It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans, who settled in the country and intermarried with the native Irish population.
Over time, the name Thurston became anglicized, with variations such as Torston and Turstan being recorded. The surname is most commonly found in counties such as Dublin, Waterford, and Cork.
During the 19th century, many Irish people emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. As a result, the surname Thurston can also be found in these countries, particularly in areas with large Irish immigrant populations. Today, individuals with the surname Thurston can be found throughout the world, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage.
