Tristen

Tristen is an English variant of the name Tristan, which derives from the Old Celtic or Pictish name Drustan, rooted in a word meaning tumult or noise, later reinterpreted through Old French to suggest a connection with Latin tristis, meaning sad. The name is most famously associated with the legendary Cornish knight Tristan, hero of the medieval romance Tristan and Iseult, which spread the name widely across Europe. Related forms include Tristam, Trystan, and the feminine Tristana.
