Iseult is somewhere in the files Ad-solita (vel.sim) "she who must be looked it", i.e. the same as Miranda
Tristan may be related to Pictish Drosten. I seem to remember reading that it meant "Prince"

Iseut/Isolde etymology: Celtic?
Is there a secure etymology for Iseut/Iseult, Isolde from Tristan & Isolde? Esyllt could derive from ON i:shilDr, but we could relate this name to Latin or Breton origin?
