Tristram (name)
Tristram is a variant of Tristan. A Welsh given name, it originates from the Brythonic name Drust or Drustanus. It derives from a stem meaning "noise", seen in the modern Welsh noun  (plural ) and the verb  "to clatter". The name has also been interpreted as meaning "bold."

This version of the name was popularised after the 1759 publication of Laurence Sterne's novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.
