Tray
Meaning of Tray
Tray, pronounced TRAY (/tɹeɪ/), is a concise male given name primarily used in the United States. Although it sometimes parallels the traditional name Trey—borrowed from the Old French trey, meaning “three” and historically assigned to a third child—Tray has emerged as an independent spelling variant and diminutive of names beginning with Tra-, such as Travis or Trayvon. The name climbed steadily through the late 20th century, peaking at number 676 on the Social Security Administration chart in 1987, before moderating to rank 935 in 2022. Among Hispanic-American families, Tray appeals for its clarity, rhythmic brevity and blend of Anglo-Latin modernity. With its straightforward pronunciation and unadorned form, Tray conveys practicality and a contemporary edge.
