The Story of Treyson

Treyson is a modern American name built from 'Trey' (from the Old French 'treis,' meaning three) combined with the popular '-son' suffix meaning 'son of.' Trey was traditionally used as a nickname for a third-born son or a person with III after their name. The -son ending, found in names like Grayson, Mason, and Jackson, gives Treyson a surname-style feel that has been fashionable in American baby naming since the 1990s.
