Travion
Meaning of Travion
Travion is a male given name of modern American coinage, first recorded in the late 1970s as part of a broader trend toward innovative compound names within African-American communities. Morphologically, it appears to combine the prefix “Tray-,” a variant of “Trey” with Latin roots denoting “three,” and the suffix “-vion,” an abstract formative element characteristic of late 20th-century anglophone naming conventions. Pronounced tray-vee-uhn (/tɾəˈviən/) in English, Travion has maintained a steady presence in United States Social Security Administration records since its emergence, with annual registrations growing from single digits in the late 1970s to a peak of 117 occurrences in 2007 (rank 772), followed by moderate fluctuation within the 800–900 rank range—including 21 occurrences in 2024 (rank 903). Although its overall frequency remains modest compared to more traditional male names, Travion’s persistent usage highlights its appeal to parents seeking a distinctive, culturally resonant appellation often associated with individuality and modern sensibility in contemporary Anglo-American naming practices.
