From the large settlement
A shortened form of the Welsh name Trevor, derived from the elements 'tref' meaning settlement or homestead and 'mawr' meaning large. It originally served as a Welsh surname before transitioning to a given name in the 19th century. As a standalone name, it offers a modern, clipped alternative to the more traditional two-syllable version.
