Reply to:	What does it mean? by Treva

I've heard Treva sevral times before, I'm surprised you haven't.
It is used as a female variation of Trevor.
I've seen it spelt Trevah, Trava, Travah and Trefva. I have only seen Trefva once.

TREVOR (m) From a surname which was originally from a place name meaning "big village" from Welsh tref "village" and mawr "large".

Since Treva only has the 'tref' in it, perhaps it only means 'village' instead of 'big village'.
I hope this helped :)
