Trystan

Where Trystan comes from

Trystan hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1981
    Trystan Gravelle born
    British actor
  2. 1982
    First appearance
    #3,282 among boys, 13 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  3. 1985
    Trystan Magnuson born
    Canadian baseball player
  4. 1986
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
  5. 1996
    Peak, #795
    182 babies named Trystan — more than any year before or since.
  6. 2019
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #2,081.
