Meaning & origin

Trampus is an exceedingly rare American given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1964. Its peak popularity came in 1974, when it reached its highest recorded usage, but it has never entered the top 1,000 names nationally. The name's trajectory has been stable, and no state reported it as a top choice. Likely derived from the surname Trampas, popularized by a fictional character in a television western from the 1970s, Trampus remains a distinctive and uncommon choice, with fewer than one in millions of baby boys receiving the name in recent years.
