Originating from German and Old Norse, the gender-neutral name Dusty means “Thor’s stone,” “valiant fighter,” or “dusty area.” Dusty is a derivative of the name Dustin, which you might recognize from American actor Dustin Hoffman or even the character Dustin Henderson in the TV show Stranger Things. Dusty, as a name in its own right, spiked in the baby name charts during the 1960s due to the Son of a Peacher Man and Spooky singer Dusty Springfield. Your little one is sure to dust off this musical moniker and show everyone just how cool it is!
