Census
Treshaun in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 591 people with the first name Treshaun, which placed it at #18,272 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Treshaun is Black at 83.1%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (12.4%) and White (2.7%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Treshaun described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Treshaun at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Treshaun
The name Treshaun is a relatively modern English given name with unclear origins. It appears to be a combination of the prefix "Tre-" and the suffix "-shaun," both of which have roots in various languages and cultures.
The prefix "Tre-" can be traced back to the Latin word "tres," meaning "three." This prefix has been used in English names like Trevor, Tristan, and Trent. It's possible that the "Tre-" in Treshaun was influenced by this Latin root, although the connection is speculative.
The suffix "-shaun" is likely derived from the Irish name Seán, which is the Irish form of the name John. This name has its origins in the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." The spelling "-shaun" is an anglicized version of the Irish name.
While the name Treshaun does not appear to have any direct historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its components have been used in various names throughout history.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with a similar name is Tresilian, an English surname dating back to the 14th century. This name is believed to be derived from the place name Tresilian in Cornwall, England.
Another individual with a similar name is Tristan, a character from Arthurian legend. The name Tristan is derived from the Brythonic Celtic name Drust or Drustán, meaning "noise" or "tumult." The legend of Tristan and Iseult dates back to the 12th century and is found in various medieval works.
In the 16th century, there was a Spanish explorer named Tristán de Luna y Arellano, who led an unsuccessful expedition to establish a colony in what is now Alabama in 1559.
In the 19th century, there was an Irish poet named John Boyle O'Reilly, whose full name was John Boyle O'Reilly Treshaun. He was born in 1844 and is known for his work advocating for Irish independence.
Another notable figure with a similar name is Tressilian Nicholas, an English actor born in 1905. He appeared in various films and television shows throughout the mid-20th century.
While the name Treshaun itself may be relatively new, its components have been used in various names and cultures throughout history, reflecting a blend of linguistic influences from Latin, Irish, and English.

FAQ
Treshaun: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Treshaun?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 862 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Treshaun going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 397,627 US residents.
Is Treshaun a common name?
We classify Treshaun as "Very Rare". It ranks above 89.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 873 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Treshaun most popular?
The single biggest year for Treshaun was 2006, when 63 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Treshaun is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Treshaun in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 591 people with the name Treshaun, or 0.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,272 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Treshaun in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Treshaun?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Treshaun leans strongly male. 567 people counted with this name were male (96.1%), compared with 23 female bearers (3.9%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Treshaun?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Treshaun is Black at 83.1%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (12.4%) and White (2.7%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Treshaun most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Treshaun in the 2020 Census, accounting for 83.1% (491 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Treshaun in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Treshaun a male name?
Yes, 99.4% of people registered as Treshaun in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Treshaun still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Treshaun in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Treshaun can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
