Lusted is Lovestedesdoune 1402 SAC iii, Lovested 1545 LP, Loffested , Lofested 1552 Gresham, Lousteddoune 1561 SAC vi, Lustead 1819 O.S. This seems to be a compound of OE lufu , 'love' and stede, hence 'place of love'; cf. the numerous Love Lanes. Lusted Farm is actually just in Kent, but a large part of the estate lies in Surrey (VCH iv, 328).
