History & Origin
Travas is a variant of Travis that appeared as that surname-name was popular for American boys. It never caught on separately, touching a small high around 1979.
Given to only about twenty boys a year at most, it faded by the early nineteen-nineties. A boy named Travas at that peak would be in his mid-forties today. The -as ending gives a familiar name a slightly different, sturdier look.
