TRISTAN. Arthurian.
One of the three heralds of Britain.
From Welsh Trwst ap Taran (tumult, the son of
thunder), itself of Pictish origin, from Drust
(q.v.) or Trust (q.v.),
meaning "loud noise, tumult" or poetically "herald,
proclaimer." (Notes
& Queries, 1907). But, see Leith's note under Feridun.
Also spelled Drystan, Tristram,
and Trystan.
Tristan, one of the three
heralds of Britain, also one of the three diademed chiefs, and one of
the three knights who had the conducting of mysteries.
And the tale told by the Cymric race in Cambria and
Armorica has resounded throughout southern Europe. There the
mighty swineherd is the son of Roland and Blanchefleur, sister of Mark,
king of Cornwall. Almost at the moment of his birth, she hears the
tidings of his father's death, and expires from the shock, calling her
babe Tristan... (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
