Wiktionary
Tristramnoun
A male given name from the Celtic languages, variant of Tristan.
But of all names in the universe he had the most unconquerable aversion for Tristram;--he had the lowest and most contemptible opinion of it of any thing in the world,--thinking it could possibly produce nothing in rerum natura, but what was extremely mean and pitiful: - - - --In a word, to behold such a one, in his old age, ill-fitted for troubles, ten times in a day suffering sorrow;--ten times in a day calling the child of his prayers Tristram!-- Melancholy dissyllable of sound! which, to his ears, was unison to Nincompoop, and every name vituperative under heaven.

tristram
Tristram is a male given name of Celtic origin, typically associated with medieval literature. It is most notably known from the Arthurian legend "Tristram and Isolde," where Tristram (also known as Tristan) is a knight who engages in a tragic love affair with the Irish princess Isolde. The name is sometimes used in English-speaking countries, although it is relatively rare. Its meaning is disputed, but it is often suggested to mean "tumult" or "outcry," possibly referring to the tragic circumstances of the legendary character's birth.
