The history of the first name Trevez

The given name Trevez has its origins in the ancient Celtic language of Brittonic, spoken by the Britons who inhabited parts of modern-day Great Britain and France. Trevez is believed to be derived from the word "treb," which means "settlement" or "homestead" in Brittonic. The name likely originated during the Iron Age or Roman era, when the Celtic tribes were widespread across western Europe.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Trevez can be found in the "Cartulary of Quimperlé," a medieval manuscript from the 11th century that documents land grants and transactions in the region of Brittany, France. The name appears in reference to a landowner or nobleman who held territories near the town of Quimperlé.
