Tristan (name) Tristan (name) Tristan or Tristram is a given name of Welsh origin. It originates from the Brythonic name "Drust" or "Drustanus". It derives from a stem meaning "noise", seen in the modern Welsh noun "trwst" (plural "trystau") and the verb "trystio" "to clatter". The name has also been interpreted as meaning "bold." It became popularized through the character of Tristan, one of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend. The modern form is most likely influenced by the Latin root "tristis" ("tant triste" in the medieval French version of the myth) also has the same meaning in Welsh
