I am just wondering if anyone has any info on this name… it’s not on the nameberry or behindthename database. Is it made up? The reason I ask is because my cousin just named his daughter Treya.
Thanks!

It seems that the name is of [name_f]Indian[/name_f] origin and means something like “walking in three paths”.
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
I’ve only ever met one and she was visiting from Germany. Anyway, she pronounced it lee-OH-nee, and I fell in love with it. After looking online, I’ve found sources that say it’s pronounced [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh-nee. Which to me is a million times less pretty. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you say it? Which way do you prefer?
Also while I’m on the name, is the nickname [name_m]Leo[/name_m] strictly for boys? I think it could work on a girl, maybe because it’s only one letter off from [name_f]Cleo[/name_f].
What about [name_f]Onie[/name_f] for a nickname?
Thank you!
