which Pryce renders the great dwelling (tre-uthy-ick); or from tre-vidn-ick, the dwelling in the meadow place; or tre-with-ick, the town among the trees. But see Trevethick, Trevithick.

TREVIADOS. From Treviados, now Treviades, an estate in the parish of Constantine, where the family resided temp. Edw. III. The name Treviados is said to mean "the dwelling by the water that cometh, i. e., the tide; from doz, to come."

TREVITHEN. Another orthography of Trevean, q. v.; or from tre-vyin, the dwelling of stones.

TREVILLIZIK. From Trevillizik, afterwards Trelizike, in St. Earth. Hals says, "Trevillizik (now Tre-liz-ik) signifies the water, gulf, creek-town, as situate upon the sea banks or cliff; and Chynoweth, when he built Chynoweth, parted with his old lands and name of Trevillizik." Tonkin renders Tre-lis-ick, a dwelling on the broad creek. The name Trevillizik is probably from tref-lisick, the bushy dwelling.

TREVINGY. From tre-vean-gy, the dwelling on or near the little brook; or tre-vynick-gy, the dwelling by the stony brook. This surname occurs in the copy of a muster book for the parish of Redruth in 1500: "Regnald Trevingy doth horse and harness Perkin Jenkin."
