Sorry about my garbled memory, it's been years since I'd read that. There should be some old posts on Tristrum and Isolde
in the Cybalist archives --maybe about 8 or 10 years ago. I certainly remember putting my two cents in. Torsten is usually good at dredging up old posts. Now that I mention him, I wonder if Torsten is a Danish fold etymology for Tristen --you know, like Kristin becomes Kirstin ;p

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"

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?
