Traye

US Popularity Rank: 10873

Origin: Celtic

Meaning: Three; Sorrow, misfortune, grief; Strong as iron, incredibly strong

Traye is a masculine name inspired by British Trey, once a nickname given to the third child in the family, sporting Old English and Germanic origins. If baby Traye isn’t number three, do not fret—it’s also considered a form of the surname Tray. Tray comes with some weighty definitions, like “grief,” “sorrow,” and “misfortune” from the Middle English traye, but is held high with “strong as iron” or “incredibly strong” from the Cornish and Welsh surname Tray. A name as complex as your little warrior, Traye is for the tenacious tot who is iron like a lion.
