Durston is an English toponymic surname. The name was first recorded in 1641 in ''A Somerset Petition of 1641''. The name is taken from the village of Durston in Somerset.〔P. H. Reaney, R. M. Wilson, ''A Dictionary of English Surnames'', p. 146, Oxford University Press, 1995 ISBN 0-19-863146-4.〕 It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon ''deór-tún'', a combination of "deer" (''deór'',) and "fenced enclosure" (''tún''). The most likely interpretation is ''deer park''.〔Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, http://bosworth.ff.cuni.cz.
