Meaning & Origin

A female given name.

Trysta is a girl's baby name of Welsh origin, a variant of Trista, possibly the feminine form of Tristan — from the Celtic name associated with the legend of Tristan and Iseult, meaning 'tumult' or 'noise' in Welsh, though often interpreted as 'sadness' from the Latin.

Trysta has the slightly mysterious, literary quality of Celtic mythology while being softer and more distinctly feminine than the masculine Tristan. It sounds like a name from a fairy tale — full of romance, destiny, and the particular magic of names born from ancient stories.
