Meaning & origin

Treavor is a variant spelling of Trevor that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1966. It reached its peak popularity in 1992, though even then it never entered the national top 1000. The name has been in decline since 1991, with usage falling steadily in subsequent decades. Unlike the standard Trevor, which has seen moderate use, Treavor remains a rare choice, reflecting a tendency to create distinctive spellings. Though the name lacks a clear top region or state preference, it has been used sporadically across the country. Parents drawn to the familiar sound of Trevor but seeking a less common spelling may choose Treavor, though its trajectory suggests it will remain an uncommon variant.

Treavor is a variant spelling of Trevor, which is an anglicized form of the Welsh name Trefor. The Welsh name is believed to derive from 'tref' meaning 'homestead' or 'settlement' and 'mawr' meaning 'large', thus 'great homestead'. It has been used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the 19th century, and the spelling Treavor emerged as a less common variant.
