It reached its peak popularity in 1999, with a rank of 12,008, after which its usage steadily declined.

Trequan is a modern American invented name, first recorded in the 1990s. It appears to be a blend or variation of names like Tre (often a diminutive of Tremaine or a standalone name) and something like -quan, a fashionable suffix borrowed from names such as DeShawn, JaQuan, or Tyquan. Such invented names emerged prominently in African American communities during the late 20th century, often combining familiar syllables to create distinctive new given names.
