HelpRe: Tre'jour'dian
in reply to a message by hope
I have no clue where this name might have come from, as I have never seen it before. Do you know someone with the name?
If I had to hazard a guess, I might say it is an African-American creation melding the names Trey, Jordan or the French word for "day" (Jour), and the suffix "-ian" (which makes me think of things like Canadian, Victorian, etc.). I hope my classification of African-American does not offend, I certainly do not mean it to, but I have noticed that that demographic enjoys putting apostrophes in names more often than others (Like D'Angelo, Des'ree, etc).
I think it is an intersting name. The apostrophes definitely give it a strong cultural image in my mind. The appearance of two apostrophes is a little much for my liking and starts puting the name into Star Trek categories, but the name itself is attractive-sounding and rather grand.
