Tristen is a feminine name with Germanic origins, though it's used for both genders in modern times. It's a variant spelling of Tristan, from the Celtic legend of Tristan and Isolde, a tragic romance from medieval literature. The name likely derives from the Celtic elements "drest" or "drust," meaning "riot" or "tumult." This spelling variation emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought alternative forms of traditional names. As a feminine name, Tristen offers a soft yet strong sound with its crisp consonants balanced by the gentle ending. While never reaching high popularity, it saw modest usage in the 1990s and early 2000s in the United States. The name carries romantic, literary associations while its unusual spelling gives it a contemporary edge for girls.
