Trista

Trista, as a girl's name, is of Welsh origin and is a feminine form of Tristan, meaning "noise,” “tumult,” “sad,” or “sorrowful." The source was the name of a tragic male lover of Celtic legend. A young knight sent to retrieve Isolde, his king's betrothed, from Ireland, they fall in love but the romance ended in grief. This ancient name might derive from a Pictish original, Drustan, but the form was influenced by the French term "triste," meaning "sad."
