DUNSTAN.
Anglo-Saxon name meaning "black stone," from Old English dun
"black, brown," and stan "stone." (A
Glossary of Cornish Names, Bannister, 1869). Usage: America,
Cornwall, England.
Dunstan Thompson (d. 1975), was an American poet.
Dunstan (d. 988), was Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, a Bishop of Worcester,
also of London, and an Archbishop of Canterbury. (Wiki)
STAN, as a termination,
is said to have expressed the superlative degree; as in Athelstan, most
noble; Dunstan, the highest. But qu. stan, in Saxon, is stone.
(A Dictionary of the English Language, Webster, 1866)
