Tristine, of Latin origin, is a unique and captivating given name for females. Derived from the Latin word 'tristes,' meaning sorrowful or sad, Tristine has been historically used as an adjective in literature to describe melancholic moods or themes. As a given name, however, it carries a distinctive sound that transcends its original somber connotation. Tristine is often associated with creativity and intellectual depth, perhaps due to its literary roots. It is not a name that has traditionally been popular, allowing those named Tristine to stand out in a crowd.
Tristine is quite rare as it was only given to five babies each year from 1996 onwards, making a total of just five children named Tristine overall.
