Trevor

Trevor (Trefor in the Welsh language) is a common given name or surname of Welsh origin. It is an habitational name, deriving from the Welsh tre(f), meaning "homestead", or "settlement" and fawr, meaning "large, big". The Cornish language equivalent is Trevorrow and is most associated with Ludgvan.

Trevor is also a reduced Anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Treabhair (descendant of Treabhar), which may derive from the original Welsh name.
