Tristen

Tristen is a variant of the name Tristan, which is derived from the Brythonic (Celtic British) name Drystan. The meaning of Drystan is believed to be "tumult" or "noise," possibly referring to the noise of battle or the sea.

The name Tristan gained popularity in medieval times due to the legend of Tristan and Isolde, a tragic romance story of Celtic origin that was widely popular across Europe. In the legend, Tristan is a Cornish knight who falls in love with the Irish princess Isolde.

While Tristen is a more modern spelling variation of the name, it retains the same meaning and cultural connections as Tristan. The name has been used in English-speaking countries for centuries, though it has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent decades.

Beyond its literary and cultural associations, the name Tristen is often chosen for its unique sound and spelling, as well as its connection to Celtic and Arthurian legends.
