From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Celtic) belonging to Trevisa (Cornwall) = the Lower Town [Cornish trev = Welsh tref, a homestead, hamlet, etc. + Cornish isa = Welsh is, lower]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

TREVISA, TREVISSA: From Trevissa in St. Enoder; from tre-visa, the lower town or dwelling. Gilbert says, "The Trevisa family, who became extinct about the end of the seventeenth century, produced John Trevisa, who, at an iuterval of about half a century from John Wickliffe's translation, made a version of the Bible into English, and died in 1470, at the age of eighty-six." From this name we may have Travis, Treves, Treeves, Treuse, Treuisa, and perhaps also Trewsen and Trewissan (tre-vissan), whence probably the name Vissan; but some of these might also translate the intrenched town or dwelling (tre-vose).
