So trivia is the noun form of trivial or they are two complete different and separate words? And is 'trivia' plural?

'Trivia' is the Latin plural of 'trivium', which was the group of 3 lesser studies in a medieval education:
Trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric
Quadrivium: arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy
From 'lesser', it is easy to see the evolved meaning of 'trivia' and 'trivial' today.
