Sorrowful or noise; variant of Tristan
Trystian is a modern spelling variant of the Celtic name Tristan. It is most commonly associated with the Pictish name Drust, meaning noise or tumult, though it was later influenced by the Latin word tristis, meaning sad, due to the tragic medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde.
