as a First Name
Transferred use of the Welsh surname, in origin a local name from any of the many places in Wales called Trefor, from tref ‘settlement’ + fôr, mutated form of mawr ‘large’. In the mid-20th century it came to enjoy considerable popularity in the English-speaking world among people with no connection with Wales; for example the actor Trevor Howard (1916–88) was born in Kent.
