Trevor Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Celtic) 1 the Irish Treabhar = Prudent, Discreet [Old Irish trebar] 2 belonging to Trevor (Cornwall), a form of Trevear, q.v.
There is also a Trevor in co. Denbigh.
The Welsh heralds derive the Trevors from Rourd Wiedick, father of Eignian Yothe, which Eignian held the lands of Gaercinion in Powysland, and was grandfather to Kariodoc, Earl of Hereford, early in the sixth century. The first who bore this name was the famous Tudor Trevor, Earl of Hereford, Kariodoc's grandson. Surnames were not hereditary in Wales before the reign of Henry VIII., this being the single exception that I have observed. The first person who adopted Trevor as a settled family name, was John ap Edward ap David, who died in 1494. None of his immediate ancestors had borne the baptismal name of Trevor; and it is therefore likely that he adopted it from the most illustrious of his ancestors, the renowned Earl of Hereford. The great families of Mostyn and Jenkyn are of the same family as the Trevors, and bear the same arms.
From tre-vur, the town on the (Roman) road; tre-vor, -mor, the town by the sea; or tre-veor, the great town. Hence, perhaps, Trevar, Trevars. Trevor is also a Welsh name.
Local. (Cornish British) From Trevear, the great town.
A location name in North Wales.
