Meaning and origin

Inherited from Middle English Trent, from Old English Trēonte; Koch (2006) derives the river name from Proto-Celtic *tri-sent(o)-on-ā-, from the elements *trei (“through”) + *sentus (“path”). Traditionally said to be from Proto-Brythonic elements equivalent to tros (“over”) + hynt (“way”), often taken to mean "the trespasser" The surname in some cases is a shortening of "Tranent", or "Tranant" in Scottish Gaelic, a geographical location in East Lothian. "Tranant" itself is possibly of Brythonic (Celtic) origin.

  • A male given name transferred from the surname.
