History & Origin

Travelle is an invented name rather than an inherited one, joining the fashionable Tra- prefix to a lilting -velle tail. It emerged in the late nineteen-hundreds as part of a wave of coinages built for their rhythm.

It stayed a small pick, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1990. A Travelle from that time would be in his thirties today, a millennial by birth.

Did you know? Travelle belongs to the inventive Tra- family - alongside Travon and Travaris - that flourished in African-American naming in the late twentieth century, prizing fresh sound over fixed meaning.
