Census
Trevonn in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 151 people with the first name Trevonn, which placed it at #45,179 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 Trevonn is Black at 82.1%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (11.3%) and Hispanic (3.3%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Trevonn 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 Trevonn at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Trevonn
The name Trevonn is a relatively modern variation of the more common name Trevor, which has its origins in the Welsh language. The name Trevor is derived from the Welsh words "tref" meaning "town" or "settlement," and "fawr" meaning "great" or "large." It is believed that the name was initially used as a surname or place name referring to a person who lived in or was associated with a significant town or village.
The earliest recorded use of the name Trevor as a given name dates back to the late 12th century in Wales. One of the earliest known individuals with this name was Trevor ap Gruffydd, a Welsh nobleman who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. He was a prominent figure in the battles against the Anglo-Norman invaders during the Norman conquest of Wales.
The name Trevor gained popularity in England during the Middle Ages, likely due to the influx of Welsh settlers and the influence of Welsh culture in certain regions. One notable bearer of the name was Trevor Aylmer, born in 1489, who was a English clergyman and academic. He served as the Chancellor of the Diocese of Lincoln and was known for his scholarly works on canon law.
Another historical figure with the name Trevor was Sir Trevor Williams, born in 1624, who was a Welsh military commander and politician. He played a significant role in the English Civil War and was a staunch supporter of the Parliamentarian cause. Sir Trevor Williams was known for his bravery and military prowess during the conflict.
In the realm of literature, one of the earliest known uses of the name Trevor can be found in the works of the English poet and playwright William Shakespeare. In his play "Henry IV, Part 1," Shakespeare included a character named Sir Trevor ap Gruffydd, likely a reference to the aforementioned Welsh nobleman from the 12th century.
The variation "Trevonn" is a more recent spelling that emerged in the late 20th century, possibly as a way to distinguish the name or give it a more unique flair. While not as common as the traditional spelling "Trevor," the name Trevonn has been used by a few notable individuals in recent times, including Trevonn Morton, an American football player who played for the New England Patriots in the National Football League (NFL).

FAQ
Trevonn: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Trevonn?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 220 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Trevonn 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 1,557,974 US residents.
Is Trevonn a common name?
We classify Trevonn as "Very Rare". It ranks above 75.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 224 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Trevonn most popular?
The single biggest year for Trevonn was 1995, when 20 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Trevonn is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Trevonn in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 151 people with the name Trevonn, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #45,179 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 Trevonn 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 Trevonn?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Trevonn appears almost entirely male. Of the 145 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. 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 Trevonn?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Trevonn is Black at 82.1%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (11.3%) and Hispanic (3.3%). 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 Trevonn most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Trevonn in the 2020 Census, accounting for 82.1% (124 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 Trevonn in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Trevonn a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Trevonn 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 Trevonn still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Trevonn 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 Trevonn 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.
