Trevis is a rare, modern variant of Travis that has seen only modest usage since its first recorded appearance in 1940. It peaked in popularity in 1974 but remained uncommon, and has been rising slowly in use since 2020. With a current rank of 10,695 and an estimated 1 in 284,679 newborn boys receiving the name in 2025, Trevis is an extremely uncommon choice. The name has never ranked among the top names in any state, reflecting its niche appeal. Trevis offers a distinctive spelling alternative for parents drawn to the sound of Travis but seeking a less common option.
Trevis is likely a variant spelling of Travis, itself an English surname transferred to a given name. The surname Travis originates from the Old French 'traverser', meaning 'to cross', and referred to someone who lived near a crossroads or toll gate. The name began to be used as a first name in the United States in the early 20th century, with the variant Trevis appearing more recently.
