History & Origin
Trevar is a variant spelling of Trevor, a Welsh place-name and surname meaning 'big settlement.' Trevor grew popular in America through the 1980s and 1990s, and offbeat spellings like Trevar followed alongside it. This version appears in United States records from around 1973, reaching a modest high in the mid-1990s. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year even at its peak.
A boy named Trevar from that stretch would be around thirty now, a contemporary of the many boys named Trevor in the same years. The spelling stayed a personal variation and never rivaled the standard Trevor, reading today as an of-its-era take on a familiar Welsh name.
