With a name like Traviss, your little one will learn how to choose and build their own path forward. While it may have an extra s, Traviss is still a variant of the English and French last name Travis. Deriving from the French verb traverser, Traviss means "to cross over," though historically, its interpretation differed based on the individual who carried it. Some Travis's or Traviss's lived near bridges or fords and presumably crossed over them on a daily basis! Others worked as toll collectors at bridges, ensuring everyone who passed through paid their way. Since Traviss can also translate to "dispute" or "disagreement," it's possible that the name's previous bearers were not afraid to argue to collect what they were owed. Your Traviss can channel their inner determination and resourcefulness in a different way, finding or creating a route around every obstacle they encounter.
