Etymology
Trayvon is a modern American given name, likely a blend of "Tray" (possibly derived from Raymond or similar names) and the suffix "-von" (from Germanic roots meaning "of" or "from"). The name emerged in African American communities during the late 20th century as part of a creative naming tradition combining existing names and elements.
The name is primarily used in African American culture in the United States and has no established religious association; it gained wider recognition following the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida teenager whose shooting sparked national debate about racial profiling and justice.
Trayvon currently ranks #3,505 in the United States as a boy's name. It reached its peak popularity around 1995.
