Name meaning and origin
Dursun is a derived name of Azerbaijani origin, formed by adding the third-person singular imperative suffix "-sun" to the root of the verb "durmaq". The name literally means "may he stay, may he remain" and carries the wish "may he live, may he have a long life".
Names of this wish-type were often given with the wish for the baby to survive in families whose children had not lived. As an anthroponym the name is recorded in 14th-century sources and is widespread in Turkic-Azerbaijani onomastics. The name Dursun does not appear directly in the Quran, but from an Islamic standpoint it has no prohibition.
