Dristen is of American origin, derived from the English word 'drizzle', meaning a light rain or spray of water droplets. It is pronounced /ˈdrɪstən/. This distinctive name gained prominence in the late 20th century and has since been used sparingly, perhaps as a unique alternative to more common names like Christopher or Dustin. The name Dristen does not have any specific associated meanings or cultural significance beyond its origin. It is a unisex name, meaning it can be given to individuals of either gender.
"Dristen saw its peak popularity in 1981 with five newborns that year."
