Treais Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Hals says, "In the parish of Blisland, somewhere liveth Trese, Gent. The name Tresor Treas is Corn. -Brit., and signifies 'the third, ' and was a name taken up in memory of the third son or person of the family from whence he was descended, and is derived from the same Japhetical origin as τριτος, terlius, 'the third, ' as the Latin tres; and Treas is also the third in the Scotch and Irish tongues"! The name is probably from tre-yz, the place for corn. The manor of St. Gennis was for some time the property of Treise, and Trenant was at one time in the possession of Sir Christopher Treise. Lysons says the manor of Tremayne in East hundred belonged to the family of Treise, whose heiress brought it to that of Morshead; and, says D. Gilbert, it has since passed by sale to Mr. John Joliffe.
