The surname Travlos is believed to have originated from Greece, with roots dating back to the 15th century. It is thought to have derived from the Greek word "travlos," which means "stutter" or "stammer." This suggests that the name may have been initially used as a descriptive nickname for someone who had a speech impediment.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname can be found in a Greek census record from the island of Crete in the late 1500s, where a family with the name Travlos was listed as residing in the village of Archanes. This region was known for its vineyards and olive groves, suggesting that the Travlos family may have been involved in agriculture or trade related to these crops.

In the 17th century, there are references to a Greek Orthodox priest named Nikolaos Travlos, who served in the village of Koutsouras on the island of Corfu. His name appears in church records and documents from that time period, indicating the continued presence of the Travlos surname in various parts of Greece.

During the 19th century, a notable figure bearing the Travlos name was Georgios Travlos, a Greek architect and historian born in 1888 in Athens. He is renowned for his research and publications on ancient Greek architecture, particularly his work on the Acropolis of Athens. Travlos' contributions to the field of archaeology and preservation of Greek cultural heritage have left a lasting impact.

Another individual of historical significance with the surname Travlos was Panagiotis Travlos, a Greek politician born in 1892 in the village of Kalogreza, near Thessaloniki. He served as a member of the Greek Parliament and was actively involved in the political landscape of the early 20th century, advocating for various social and economic reforms.

In more recent times, the surname Travlos has been carried by notable figures such as Ioannis Travlos, a Greek military officer and politician who served as a member of the Hellenic Parliament in the late 20th century, and Eleni Travlos, a contemporary Greek writer and poet whose works have gained recognition both nationally and internationally.
