Large settlement or homestead
Treva is a feminine form of the Welsh name Trevor, derived from the elements 'tref' meaning settlement or homestead and 'mawr' meaning large. It emerged as a distinct feminine choice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States. While its usage has declined significantly, it retains a distinctive vintage charm.
