English (Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire): nickname possibly from Middle English t(h)roste(l) ‘thrush’ with voicing of the initial consonant. Black identified this as a Scottish name of Pictish origin; however the modern distribution of the surname almost exclusively in Lincolnshire and adjoining counties suggests a more localized eastern English origin.
