History & Origin
Treg is a short modern boy's name, read either as a variant of Trig or Tregg or as a clip of the Cornish 'tre,' 'homestead,' the element behind many Cornish surnames. It appeared as a rare given name in the later twentieth century, peaking at only about fifteen boys a year around 1970. Its exact source is uncertain, which we note.
A Treg from its peak would be in his fifties today. Its blunt one-syllable sound sits beside Trig, Reg, and Craig - the short, rugged boy names - and it reads as offbeat rather than dated. Its brevity makes for an easy monogram.
