Tristian

Tristian can be considered a compound name, combining Tristan and Christian, however, it may also be used simply as a spelling variation of the former. The name could therefore have several different meanings: "noise, tumult" from its Celtic origins, "sorrow" from its French roots, or, as compound name, "loud follower of Christ", "sorrow of the anointed one", or similar.
