Trystram Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Trustram and variants is in a small minority of cases a Welsh surname of patronymic origin. That is, it was assumed as a surname from a father's forename. The name Drystan or Trystan likely means 'cry', possibly relating to a battle cry. The name and its variants have been found throughout Celtic Britain, from Cornwall to the Kingdom of the Picts. The most notable instance is that of Sir Tristan, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. More unusual Welsh surnames were adopted early by Welsh standards, likely in or before the 17th century. As time past and Wales became more Anglicised, traditional Welsh names became less common. It's also likely that bearers of such surnames came from wealthier backgrounds as wealthier Welsh families tended to adopt surnames earlier.
