<p>Tristin is a name used for both genders but more commonly for females in this context. It derives from the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde, where Tristan was a knight of the Round Table who fell in love with Isolde. The name comes from the Celtic name Drustan, possibly meaning "riot" or "tumult," though it's often associated with the Latin word "tristis" meaning "sad" or "sorrowful." As a feminine name, Tristin represents a modern trend of adapting traditionally male names for girls, often with altered spellings. The name gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1990s and early 2000s. Tristin has a romantic, literary quality while maintaining a contemporary edge. The spelling variation with 'i' instead of 'a' gives it a softer, potentially more feminine appearance than Tristan.</p>

The name Tristin peaked for girls at #1163 in 1996. Tristin is occasionally used for boys in 2025.
