Origin
Trevor was borrowed from English in the 1980s. The first name goes back to a surname, which in turn derives from a place name. This place name is Trefor and is widespread throughout Wales. It stands for 'big village' and is composed of the Welsh words tref (village) and mawr (big). As a first name, Trevor was used from the 19th century onward by English- and Welsh-speaking people.Translated by Arcanes from the German Wiktionary, entry “Trevor”, text and translation under CC BY-SA 4.0.

The meaning of the numbers comes from numerological tradition; it isn't a measure of your personality. A full portrait needs your first and middle names, your last name at birth, and your date of birth. How we calculate
Your name and theirs
The number of each name, and the number of the bond, which comes from adding them together. A symbolic game: what your two names say together, to be read as a metaphor, not as a verdict on your relationship.
