Ysolt
Ysolt Origin and Meaning
Ysolt is a feminine name derived from the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde (also spelled Iseult, Isolt, or Yseult). This ancient Celtic name likely means "ice" or "fair, beautiful one" in its original form. Ysolt represents a rare variant spelling that maintains the name's medieval character while offering a distinctive appearance. The name carries rich literary and legendary associations, representing one of literature's most famous tragic love stories. Though never common in modern usage, Ysolt appeals to parents drawn to names with historical depth and artistic significance. Its unusual spelling and pronunciation (typically ee-SOLT or ih-SOLT) give it an exotic, mysterious quality while connecting the bearer to centuries of romantic literary tradition.
