The surname Tranle is believed to have originated in Vietnam, likely during the 15th or 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the Vietnamese word "tran," which means "battle" or "war." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who worked as a soldier or had a reputation for being a skilled warrior.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Tranle name can be found in a 17th-century manuscript detailing the history of a prominent Vietnamese family. This document mentions a man named Tran Le, who was a respected military leader during the Tay Son Rebellion in the late 18th century.

In the 19th century, there are records of a Tranle family living in the village of Hai Duong, near Hanoi. One member of this family, Tranle Tuan Anh, was known for his expertise in traditional Vietnamese medicine and herbalism.

Another notable figure with the Tranle surname was Tranle Quynh Mai, a Vietnamese poet and scholar who lived from 1876 to 1945. She was celebrated for her contributions to the development of the Chu Nom script, which was used to write the Vietnamese language before the adoption of the Latin alphabet.

In the early 20th century, a man named Tranle Van Minh gained recognition as a skilled architect and urban planner. He was responsible for designing several important buildings and public spaces in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) during the French colonial period.

While the Tranle name is most commonly associated with Vietnam, there are also records of individuals with this surname living in neighboring countries such as Laos and Cambodia. This could be due to migration patterns or the influence of cultural exchange between these regions over the centuries.
