I did a little research - very unscientific. It seems that Trey as a stand alone first name popped up in the top 1000 around 1964. I looked at people named Trey on Wikipedia and about half are nicknames for men who are the third in their family to have that name. The others are stand alone names or nicknames for names like Treyvon.
It is the same in my area. Trey is typically used for the third generation with the same name so for Ambrose III.
Of course, Trey could be used as a standalone name, but it isn't how I've typically seen in used.

How strange. I've known loads of Treys and none were III anything. It's relatively normal/common in the US at least?
Interesting background! I’ve grown up with people named Trey who were the oldest children in the family. 3 is a special number for me regardless, so I love the meaning. Though, I’m more into the sound.
