Today, Trevor is a popular, familiar name (popularity 83/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Trevor originates from the Welsh surname 'Trefor,' derived from the elements 'tref' (meaning 'homestead' or 'village') and 'mawr' (meaning 'large'). It originally denoted someone from a large settlement. As a given name, it gained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in English-speaking countries like the UK, US, and Australia. Its enduring appeal lies in its classic yet unfussy sound and Welsh heritage.
