Tres

The Spanish word for the number three, not to be confused with the French très (tray) meaning "very", Tres has been used as a boy name in the US since the late 1950s. Given to a small handful of babies each year, it recently had a small spike in use when it was given to 18 boys in a single year.

An alternative perhaps for Trey or Tripp, Tres might work as a nickname for boys with III after their name, for a third son, or as a nickname to the ancient Tertius, or more current choices like Terrence, Atreus, Trevor, Travis, or Tristan.

Tres is also given to girls.

Pronounced TREZ.

As of October 2026, Tres ranked #10151 in US births in 1974 SSA.
