History & Origin

Trevaughn is a coined name combining the Tre- prefix with Vaughn, a Welsh surname from fychan, 'small.' It belongs to the late-twentieth-century fashion for building new boys' names from admired prefixes and real surname roots.

Trevaughn crested around 1997 at roughly seventy boys a year and eased off through the two-thousands and twenty-tens. A Trevaughn from the peak is now in his late twenties. It reads as a nineties coinage rather than a reviving name.

Did you know? Vaughn on its own is a tidy Welsh surname meaning 'small'; bolted to the popular Tre- prefix it becomes Trevaughn, one of many late-century blends that gave boys fresh, rhythmic two-beat names.
