How to Pronounce Treylon
Pronounced TRAY-lon /ˈtreɪlɒn/Medium
Meaning: Treylon is a late-twentieth-century American boys' name that pairs Trey, from the English word for 'three' (often a name for a third-born or a 'III'), with the fashionable -lon ending seen in Deylon and Jaylon. It reads as a rhythmic coinage rather than a word with a single root, its meaning carried by the Trey element.Low

History & Origin
Treylon joins Trey, an English nickname from 'three' long used for a third son, with the -lon ending popular in coined boys' names. It sits in the Braylon and Jaylon family, valued for a crisp, modern two-beat sound, and functions as an invented name rather than one with a dictionary meaning of its own.
It was never common, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year at its high near 2000 before fading. A boy given it then is now in his twenties. Like most -lon coinages it has not revived and reads as a name of its era.
