Census
Treyon in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 343 people with the first name Treyon, which placed it at #26,904 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Treyon described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Treyon at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Treyon
The given name Treyon is believed to have originated from the Old French language, possibly derived from the surname "Tréon" or "Tréyou," which were variants of the name "Trévoux." The name can be traced back to the medieval period, around the 12th or 13th century.
Treyon may have its roots in the Frankish or Germanic tribes that settled in the region of modern-day France during the early Middle Ages. The name could be linked to the Old Frankish word "treu," meaning "faithful" or "loyal," suggesting a potential connection to warrior or noble lineages.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Treyon can be found in the chronicles of the Benedictine monastery of Cluny, located in Burgundy, France. In the year 1245, a monk named Treyon de Vergy is mentioned as a scribe and illuminator of manuscripts.
In the 14th century, a nobleman named Treyon de Montfort was a prominent figure during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. He served as a knight and military commander under the French King Charles VI.
During the Renaissance period, a notable bearer of the name was Treyon Delacroix, a French painter and artist born in 1520. He was known for his vibrant depictions of religious scenes and portraits of the French nobility.
In the 17th century, Treyon Lavoisier, born in 1643, was a renowned French chemist and philosopher. He made significant contributions to the understanding of the nature of elements and is considered one of the founders of modern chemistry.
Another historical figure with the name Treyon was Treyon de Saussure, a Swiss geologist and explorer born in 1740. He is famous for his pioneering work in the study of glaciers and his ascent of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps.
While the name Treyon may have originated in France and had a presence in various European regions, it is important to note that historical records and documentation from earlier periods can be incomplete or limited, leaving some aspects of the name's origins and evolution open to further research and interpretation.

FAQ
Treyon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Treyon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 417 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Treyon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 821,953 US residents.
Is Treyon a common name?
We classify Treyon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 423 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Treyon most popular?
The single biggest year for Treyon was 1997, when 24 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Treyon is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Treyon in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 343 people with the name Treyon, or 0.11 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #26,904 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Treyon in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Treyon?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Treyon leans strongly male. 330 people counted with this name were male (96.5%), compared with 12 female bearers (3.5%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Treyon?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Treyon is Black at 86.3%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (7.0%) and Hispanic (3.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Treyon most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Treyon in the 2020 Census, accounting for 86.3% (296 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Treyon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Treyon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Treyon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Treyon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Treyon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Treyon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
