But Tristan doesn't mean "sad"

Tristan:
From the Celtic name Drystan, which was probably derived from drest meaning "riot" or "tumult". It is sometimes associated with Latin tristus "sad", but this connection is doubtful.

•I don't like it for a boy, but at least it's legitimate. I don't like it for a girl at all. nt · Eden · 12/19/2004, 9:24 PM

•I love it on a girl! I would NEVER use it on a boy b/c it just...sounds feminine to me. n/t · Elizabeth13 · 12/19/2004, 2:48 PM
