Trier

Ancient German settlement

Trier can mean one who tries—someone who makes an effort or attempts something: She's a real trier, even when the odds are against her.

In law, a trier of fact is the person or body responsible for determining facts in a case, typically a jury or judge. (Capitalized Trier is a city in western Germany.)
