• According to the 2010 United States Census, Luster is the 4823^rd most common surname in the United States, belonging to 7316 individuals. Luster is most common among Black/African American (48.17%) and White (44.67%) individuals.

• Hanks, Patrick, editor (2003), “Luster”, in Dictionary of American Family Names, volume 2, New York: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 476.

• Ulster, lurest, lustre, luters, result, rulest, rustle, sutler, truels, ulster

The form may be directly from Italian lustro and the sense "chandelier", which appears not to exist in this language, through influence of French lustre, itself from the Italian. Or the word may be from French entirely (like Lüster) and the back vowel due to spelling pronunciation.
