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. 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.
