Origin

Koch (2006) derives the river name from Proto-Celtic tri-sent(o)-on-ā-, from the elements trei ("through") + *sentus ("path"). Traditionally said to be from Proto-Brythonic elements equivalent to tros ("over") + hynt ("way"), often taken to mean "the trespasser" The surname in some cases is a shortening of "Tranent", or "Tranant" in Scottish Gaelic, a geographical location in East Lothian. "Tranant" itself is possibly of Brythonic (Celtic) origin.
