Tristan is a man's name. Always has been. Just because you give the name to a girl doesn't make it a girl's name. You are completely ignoring the origin and history of the name. When I was a teenager I had a friend (girl) named Edward and her sister named George (not Georgette). Their father had a couple screws loose. Just because he named his daughters with men's names didn't somehow miraculously make the names unisex. Both of these girls changed their given names when they were adults. They became Ellena and Genevieve. Changing the spelling of a name to make it more feminine like changing Tristan to Tristyn changes the name and its meaning. It is no longer Tristan.

To all who believe Tristan or Trystan are girls names? You are not very intelligent. Really, that's what it comes down to. Ignorance and basically rhyming words. Kristen, Krystan, etc. Abroad the name/pronunciation -Tristan- and its variations of spelling, is considered a masculine name, masculine meaning- for men to clarify for the slow and persistent ones messaging and defending Tristan as a girls name. I've read all these comments thus far and concluded some posters are deliberately confusing people on gender names to further confuse the general public.. but that's a topic altogether you should all look at.

My son is 18 and is named Tristan. I had no idea the name would become so popular. He got the 'triscuit' teasing too. They really have to stretch to come up with that one, but if that is the worst they say, no complaints here. I really abhor the boy's names for girls trend.

Well my name is Tristen and I'm a girl... I see nothing wrong with a girl being named Tristan tho... If u don't like it that's your problem.. it doesn't effect you so you shouldn't care... Just Saying. People call it a masculine name.. I agree.. Im not a girly girl.. I have never worn a dress in my life, haha.

I've met more males with this name. However, I'm a female and my name is Tristean. My parents decided to spell it with an "ean" to give it a "girlie" spelling. I've lived 30 years with this name and see it being used a lot more for females. I personally always liked it because it was different. Originally my mother got the name from a male character off All my children (yes, my mother was one of "those" people.) Hopefully it doesn't become overly popular.

The name Tristan was given to 87 baby girls born in the US in 2012. How sad.

Sorry, but it IS for a boy. I could say that Benjamin or Jonathan are for girls, but that wouldn't make it so. Anyway, regardless of this being a 'stolen' name (i.e. a traditionally masculine name now being given to females) as some above users have pointed out, we can at least be thankful that it's still predominantly masculine! At least it hasn't gone the way of Ashley, Aubrey, or Madison.

Personally, I would never use it because the guy I knew named Tristan (spelled Triston) was the biggest jerk on the planet, so it's ruined for me :P.

Also used as a boy's name in Slovenia.

When looking for names for our daughter 3 years ago, the baby name book we chose had Tristan listed under girls names as well, we chose it, and in the last 3 years, we have met more parents who have as well. It is becoming a more popular girls name as well.
